"Why Do You Hate Me?"

What happens when a gay guy asks people who gave time and money to support anti-gay Referendum 71 the most basic question?

* We have no idea what these people actually look like. We talked to them over the phone.

On August 31, the Washington Secretary of State's office announced that Christian extremists had gathered enough signatures to put Referendum 71 on the November ballot. Assuming a lawsuit doesn't stop it, R-71 allows the voting public to decide if the legislature was right in recently granting same-sex partners in this state the same rights as married couples. (An "approve" vote on the referendum will put the law into effect; a "reject" vote will nullify it.) Conservatives have long held that they don't have a problem with gay people—they just want to protect "marriage." But R-71 only applies to domestic partnerships. So why are those challenging this law fighting so hard to deny gay people equal rights? Since the state public disclosure commission recently ruled that the names of contributors to Referendum 71 must remain public, we called up four contributors to ask them. These were the first four people we called.

    • Haters . Do not need an excuse . They just need a receptacle for their hate . When one object leaves they choose another . Hate is how they deal with the world . My advice is , do not argue with a hater . Do not let them upset you. Live well and let them suffer with their tiny little minds . I am still debating whether to pity them . They seem to like wallowing in it .
