Gay Marriage Advocates To Post Names On Internet
BOSTON -- Two gay activists are promising to post on the Internet the names and addresses of anyone who signs a petition that could lead to a statewide ban on gay marriage.

The move by Thomas Lang and Alexander Westerhoff, one of the first gay couples married in the state, came after state Attorney General Thomas Reilly on Wednesday certified a ballot question that bans gay marriage and civil unions.

Now, the question's supporters must collect 65,825 signatures from registered voters, and approval from 25 percent of state lawmakers to get the question on the 2008 ballot.

Lang, 42, said the name, street address, hometown and ZIP code of everyone who signs the petition will be posted on the Web site KnowThyNeighbor.org.

2. Good!
I'm glad this list is being made available to the public. I'd sure like to know who feels that the "Land of the Free" only applies to certain people. I would not want to associate with racists like that.

Why don't we deserve the same rights as everyone else??? There is not one answer that is even remotely close to being justifiable.

3. We should use this list...
...and have a letter writing campaign. Use it to give these folks actual information.
