Congresswoman Chellie Pingree Statement on Passage of LD 1020

"Same sex couples live in every part of our state in loving, committed relationships, yet they have not been afforded the rights and responsibilities that come with marriage. Today our state took a major step toward correcting that injustice."

"I am so proud to be a part of such an independent and forward thinking state, one of only five states that has taken such a landmark step towards equality for all of its citizens."
