My church does not support same-sex marriage. I’m concerned that the same-sex marriage law will threaten religious freedom and force people of faith to compromise their beliefs.

Maine’s same-sex marriage law explicitly affirms religious freedom and guarantees that no church will be required to recognize or perform same-sex marriages.  While the state of Maine has authority to determine which couples can receive a civil marriage license, churches will continue to be free to define marriage according to their own beliefs.
