Same-sex marriage — Maine and Wisconsin.

1. Maine voters rejected same-sex marriage:

The Maine vote was particularly discouraging for gay-rights groups because it took place in New England, the region that has been the most open to same-sex marriage, and because opponents of the repeal had far outspent backers.... 

Throughout the bitter campaign, supporters of same sex marriage had stressed that gay couples deserve equal treatment under the law, banking on Maine’s reputation as a “live and let live” state....

2. The Wisconsin Supreme Court heard oral argument in the case that challenges the state constitutional amendment that barred both gay marriage and "legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage." You can listen to the argument at the link. The challenge is based on a state law requirement that a referendum must present a single subject. Were the Wisconsin voters presented with one question or 2? Think about the fact that some voters would reject same-sex marriage but support "substantially similar" legal status.
