Businesses Benefit from the LGBT Market
EQME in the News: We're showing Maine business owners that it's smart to reach out to the local LGBT community. Read the story from Mainebiz.


What's Your Story?
You can open Mainers' eyes to the realities of the same-sex couples who are their relatives, neighbors, friends, and colleagues. Share your story - or the story of a same-sex couple who has touched your life - at www.ourstoriesme.org.

These stories will help EQME and GLAD create a storybook, Our Stories: Profiles of Same-Sex Couples in Maine. By showing Mainers what love really looks like, we'll open hearts and minds - and move closer to full equality for the LGBT community. Deadline extended to June 21.
