Anti-Gay Signature Fraud Caught On Tape - Port Angeles, Washington

A paid signature gatherer for Referendum 71 misleads a citizen about the goals of the referendum. Read the full story here: http://drivingequality.com/2009/07/23/anti-gay-signature-fraud-caught-on-tape/

Driving Equality is a 100-day, 16,000-mile, 48-state trek across America to collect stories from LGBTQ people in an effort to raise awareness of the various forms of discrimination faced by our community in each state of the nation. Highlighting the differences in rights, laws, and amendments between the states will shed light on the current social standing of queer individuals today. I hope to create a dialogue about the disparities across the nation, and what can be done to end discrimination for all.

During the 100-day trip, I am meeting with LGBTQ community organizers, activists, and any citizens willing to talk, as well as our opposition. Through these interviews, I will gain an understanding of the current political climates, and explore ways of combating discrimination. Throughout my journey, I will make frequent posts on the website, including photos and video clips.

I applaud the author of this video for standing up to this A-hole. I was so naive to assume the signature gathering was done in an honest upfront manner. This guy was a hypocrite and totally back peddling through his teeth because he is on video! He was tricking those participants to sign up and then acted like he was a true R71 supporter! He is not a supporter - otherwise he wouldn't be using the "homosexual" term with an insulting undertone.

Wow! This guy was all over the place. At one moment he seems homophobic, then he says he' sin favor of gay marriage, then he's both anti-catholic and racist (hisre mark about "Hispanic Catholics"). He's anti-constitution (legislaor's shold not vote on legislation), and pro democracy. Where does he stand? I think the key is that he's getting paid--which means he will say *anything* to get people to sign his petition.
