A law was passed by the state legislature called the "Everything but Marriage" bill and subsequently signed by the governor that essentially gave gay couples all the benefits of marriage without the ceremony.
There is a group of people circulating a petition to have the law repealed. In order to get on the ballot, they need to gather 120,000 signatures.
The left is against it, of course, and they are outraged. Since Leftists don't believe in freedom (It's their way or the gulag) they are organizing to publicize the signers of this document. From KOMO-TV News:
In a statement Monday, WhoSigned.org says it expects people who see the names online to contact the signers for what may be uncomfortable talks about gay rights. (emphasis added)
What this means is that they will publicize their list and try to extort money and/or apologies. They did it in CA with proposition 8 supporters. I'm certain that if some of these whack job extremists had their way, they'd open their own brand of "Gitmo" and send the signers off for more than just waterboarding session.
I've been on record saying that since the state has already hijacked marriage, it should either get out the business, or everyone gets a civil union and marriage would be left to the churches. My wife and I have a civil union. We were married in front of a judge. Heretofore, I was rather ambivalent to the petition drive. Not any more. I will oppose thuggery wherever I can.
I tell you now, if I see a person asking me to sign one of those petitions, I will sign it. Bring it you left wing goons!
