A report from the National Institute for Money in State Politics shows
that support for Question 1, the ballot initiative that repealed Maine's
same-sex marriage law, came predominantly from churches and
related conservative organizations. Question 1 backers raised nearly
$3.4 million, compared to almost $5.7 million raised by opponents, who
lost the vote 53% to 47%.
Some "fast facts," according to the National Institute for Money in State Politics:
"Gay-marriage advocates raised money from more than 10,000 donors --12 times more than opponents reported. Question 1 passed despite the numbers imbalance, banning same-sex marriage in Maine.
"The campaign for Question 1, the successful push to repeal gay marriage in Maine, was funded almost entirely by churches and conservative organizations."
