PORTLAND, ME – The following can be attributed to Alison Beyea, executive director of the ACLU of Maine:

“Today’s landmark decision will bring joy to families, and final nationwide victory to the decades-long freedom to marry movement. We must now harness the momentum from this conversation to the work of securing additional advances towards equality, especially nondiscrimination protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans.”

Additionally, ACLU of Maine Legal Director Zach Heiden will be available throughout the day to provide legal commentary on today’s ruling. To arrange an interview, contact the ACLU at 207-774-5444.
