Here come the grooms! After years of fighting
for the right to wed, same-sex couples in Maine finally got their
chance just after midnight Saturday morning, when the city of
Portland, the state’s largest, began issuing marriage licenses.
After waiting in line with more than a dozen other couples, Steven
Bridges and Michael Snell became the state’s first gay couple to
legally wed, six years after their private commitment ceremony. The
Maine legislature had approved same-sex marriage before, but three
years ago it was overturned by referendum—an act that was itself
overturned by another referendum last month.
