Prop 71
Earlier this year the Wash Legislature passed a homosexual "marriage" law. Citizens wrote a referendum to undo the homosexual "marriage" law, and the petition gathered just enough signatures to get on the ballot. During the petition drive, the anti-Christian side made death threats against some of the leaders. Those leaders testified before the Wash Public Disclosure Commission a few days ago, describing the nature of the death threats and asking for an exemption to protect contributors from disclosure. The Communists of the PDC unanimously denied the request, saying "the examples provided were not clear and convincing evidence that the disclosure requirements were subjecting the committee to a manifestly unreasonable hardship."
I was previously neutral on the whole question, because I couldn't see how adding homosexual "marriage" to laws would ruin ordinary marriage. Normal marriage has already been killed by many other cultural and legal factors (feminism, no-fault divorce, the destruction of American industrial jobs) so this extra bullet didn't seem to matter much. I changed my mind when Carrie Prejean was stripped of her Miss USA title for expressing a pro-marriage opinion. My change is growing stronger with each example of death threats by the Communist side. Obviously this "extra bullet" is important to them; they clearly feel that normal marriage isn't dead enough yet. If it matters to them, it matters to me.
This is war.

Sidenote: When I say "the Communists of the PDC" I'm not throwing the word around loosely (as I sometimes admittedly do!) Watch the clip and you'll see it's literally true in this case. ¶ 6:14 AM
