You got the Mormons, the Catholics, and Many Many religious nuts with lots of money that want to make sure we remain second class citizens…

Sadly, most think this is their deed to get them an esculator ride right on up to God!

This does not surprise me at all. The threshold for petition signatures is almost always lower than the population of a state. And though Washington is predominantly liberal, it has a more conservative eastern half from which all these signatures could easily be collected.

Fortunately, as I said, Washington is predominantly liberal. Petitions don’t mean much if the referendums they seek can’t actual pull in majority votes. It’s a delay of the inevitable.

I will start a petition for allowing the death peanlty to all scum bigots and thugs!!!! – Let the people sign.

The names, addresses and phone numbers of all bigots and anti-gay civil rights are all recorded at LTN. LTN (Love Thy Nagihbour) does not include Maine – they should include Maine as well (they have a petition as well).

Where the HELL is the Washington State Supreme Court to tell these bible thumping idiots that marriage equality is NOT a candidate for a vote because it is a RIGHT?

Isn’t it interesting how the religious right wants to “save marriage” by banning people from marrying instead of taking positive measures to help people prepare for and live their marriages faithfully. The truth is that the religious right is less concerned about protecting marriage than it is about perpetuating discrimination, bigotry and ignorance.

Re-marriage after divorce, according to the Bible, if that’s what you believe, is adultery. We need to gather signatures to ban divorce on the ballot. We need to also ban referendums. It is the job of the legislature to make law, not the common citizen.

I believe we have to fight back with every fiber of our being … the bigots will not stop (if we let them) until we are all back in the closet and they can claim there are “no homosexuals in America.” We have to educate people; show our family, friends and neighbors that we are normal people just like them and all we want is the right to live our lives exactly as they can and do. We must not retreat on any front, at any time!

get signatures to ban divorce in Washington and put it up for a vote also….if marriage is so “sacred” between only a man and woman and a vow to God, then divorce should not be allowed. Put their sanctity of marrige up to a mirror. Stir the pot a bit.

the signatures are not “clean”, regardless of whether they can pass legal muster, they are violations of basic human rights to provide for each other in a coupled relationship. And domestic partnerships are NOT marriages in the eyes of the law anywhere in the USA.
