Legal War For WA State Sunshine Law
joeszilagyi writes "In a major battle in Washington State, anti-gay rights groups created and got R-71 on the 2009 election ballot. This is a public initiative to put same-sex civil unions up for public vote. The real legal war then erupted: activists created WhoSigned.org to take advantage of WA state's Public Records Act, and put the names of all people who publicly endorsed R-71 on a public, SEO-optimized website. Lawsuits quickly followed, and today it reached the United States Supreme Court, in a matter of months. The records appear to have always been public, but have only been available in digital form since 2006. An assault on civil rights, an assault on marriage, or an assault on sunshine laws and freedom of information?"
It's a shame that you can't marry anyone you want. Like for instance, children and barnyard animals.
Now they can't go around pretending to be all cool and tolerant. I'd love to see their hipocrit faces when they are judged by the rest of their hipocrit friends who were smart enough not to sign the petition...
Eat shit motherfuckers!!

This. The peter-puffers don't need to know WHO, specifically, is opposed to their agenda. All they need to know is, they can't get "married". The ONLY reason they want to know who signed is to start harassing people.
Wanna get married, dude? Go find a woman. Dick are for chicks, you silly faggot.

I find it ironic that the pro-gay-rights faction preaching tolerance is intolerant of those who vote against their position. They are so intolerant that they select those who don't hold their views and ridicule and excoriate them. Isn't that what they are fighting against?
Marriage is between a man and woman.... anything else can NEVER be called marriage... Period...
Give it another term, don't require a J.O.P. to perform any kind of service - and don't ask any church to sanction it.
Call it a garriage or something, but don't put it on equal terms with marriage.
Is there something so horrible about people wanting equal treatment under the law?
It is to a bigot. I'd venture a guess that not being able to force their will on those that do not want it is a great offense to those people (That is how they respond each and every time at least) and thusly is horrible.
I think such behavior is disgusting, but believe that is an answer to your question.
Leftists don't have a problem with discrimination and harassment, it's just that now THEY want to be the ones to decide the targets.
