Gay partnership foes want names private

(Olympia, Wash.) Sponsors of a campaign to overturn Washington state’s domestic partnership law have asked the state’s Public Disclosure Commission to keep the names of their donors secret because they say the supporters have received threats.

In a letter sent Thursday, Protect Marriage Washington asked the commission to hold an emergency hearing and requested that “any disclosures made prior to any hearing be held under seal.”

An attorney for the R-71 campaign, Stephen Pidgeon, wrote that a threat posted on the Web site Queer Equality Revolution was forwarded to the FBI.

On the Web site, which says it is run by John Bisceglia of Bellingham, Bisceglia wrote that he advocated using violence “against the property of ALL of those who are working tirelessly to HURT my family; starting with churches and government property. Government is enabling a vote on whether or not I `should be allowed’ to see my husband while he is dying in a hospital - any NORMAL man would be driven to get a gun and kill those who tried such evil cruelty against his loved ones.”

2. oh hell no

if you want to fuck up people's lives using the law then your participation in the law must be transparent. Period. Taking unpopular positions involves risk. Violence is the least of anyone's worries - they should worry more about boycotts, protests, and other economic actions.
