Opponents of same-sex marriage launched a television campaign Tuesday, two weeks behind supporters, in a contentious debate over whether to repeal Maine’s new marriage law.
A no vote on the November ballot referendum question means a vote to support the law as passed while a yes vote opposes same-sex marriage and would support repealing the law.
Supporters kicked off a campaign earlier this month, followed by opponents, Stand for Marriage Maine, which began running ads Tuesday.
