Gay partnership foes drop ballot wording challenge
A group called WhoSigned.org says it will publicize the names of people signing Referendum 71, which seeks a public vote to overturn Washington's same-sex partnership law.
A group called WhoSigned.org says it will publicize the names of people signing Referendum 71, which seeks a public vote to overturn Washington's same-sex partnership law.
WhoSigned.org says it's partnering with the gay rights group KnowThyNeighbor.org to put the names online.
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.
Sponsors of Referendum 71 have until July 25 to collect at least 121,000 signatures to make the fall ballot. The referendum seeks to overturn the domestic partner law that gives partners the same state rights as married couples.
