If you support Gay Marriage - for information only

[Melanie]

If you don't support it, click on to the next topic, as that's been done on this board already.







If you do support it, here is a petition:
http://www.hrc.org/millionformarriage/index.shtml


Here is the FAQ behind it:

Please keep this bumped for a few days.

What kind of statement is this? Stay out of topics that you disagree with? Should someone be able to post a link in this thread for a petition to not support this or should they just start their own post?

This is obviously a very hot button issue in this forum on BOTH SIDES OF THE FENCE, so much so that I just discovered the thread about it where I had posted had gone poof. I wonder the motivation behind this thread.

I think Melanie just meant that she didn't intend for this thread to become a gay marriage debate.

Ok but in all fairness should anyone post something and not expect someone to respond? Be it in the negative or positive. I just read it like "move on to the next thread and don't bother responding if you are against this."

Thank you, Melanie! I signed the petition and I hope that others will, too.

Yes! Which is exactly why she said 'for information only'.

Yep, I expect everyone to put on their best mature hats. There already was a debate thread. It's been done. This is to pass along information to those who are interested. That's all.

Sure, you've got a petition that you support, why not start your own thread, just don't reference mine please.

The motivation is to share that this petition exists for those who wish to sign it.

i signed and then emailed the link to everyone in my address book that i thought would sign it. (yes, i can be friends with people who disagree with me!) the first person to reply was my "married" gay friend, who said how much he and his husband appreciated my support on the issue. made me happy to be his friend, but sad that he and his husband aren't allowed to officially be married. :(
