Locals unaware of signing anti-gay marriage petition

LEOMINSTER -- When Karen Aveyard signed a petition last fall, she had no idea it involved the status of gay marriage in Massachusetts. Aveyard said the person who asked her to sign said nothing about the proposed amendment. "I think it was in front of a grocery store," the Leominster resident said. "I was asked to sign something else, I didn't know it had anything to do with marriage."

Workers from Vote on Marriage, a ballot question committee formed to promote an amendment defining marriage as the union between a man and a woman, collected signatures from all over the state from Sept. 21 to Nov. 23, spokesman Kris Mineau said Tuesday.

The signature collector asked her to sign a petition regarding an amendment to allow grocery stores to sell wine, Aveyard said. She was surprised to learn her name turned up on the Vote on Marriage list.

"I don't remember the exact conversation," she said. "I don't think grabbing someone while their arms are full of groceries is a good way to get support for something, because they're probably in a hurry. It bothers me because that does not reflect my opinion at all."
