Neff: Breaking the addiction to hate
It will be a while before I can stomach Maine lobster.

I react to events that way.

I take them personally, and I react personally.

A celebrity offends LGBTs, I want to stay away from her movies or tune out his music.

A politician votes against LGBTs, I want to vote against him or her.

A church disparages LGBTs, I want to tally up all the injustices, crimes and offenses committed by the church.

The majority of a state votes for institutional discrimination against LGBTs, I want to return the pain.

Maine voters on Nov. 3 cast ballots to repeal a gay-marriage bill signed into law in May by Democratic Gov. John Baldacci.

There was a lot of money from both sides pumped into the election. There were a lot of television ads. There was a lot of knocking on doors and dialing phones. There was a lot of commitment to the campaigns inside and Maine and outside Maine.
