Please join me in declining to sign Referendum 71 petitions. It is wrong to take away rights from Washington’s gay and lesbian families. I recognize and declare: “For those who love, loving pour forth radiance;” “We are the sons and daughters of God;” “In our lifetime, peace, peace on Earth, goodwill to mankind.”

In our lifetime equality, rights for all. Stop discrimination now, or risk it happening to you in the future.
