Welcome to an appetizer version of the lavish banquet that is being queer. And by lavish banquet I mean heaps of rotting meat and piles of feces. You loved giving it to us, so we thought you should try it. Enjoy!

It had argued that public disclosure could lead to threats, harassment or reprisal.

Right, because that's not the exact same shit people like you do to queer people every damn day. Yeah, some LGBTQ people and their allies won't like you as much, but god damn that's what you get for working to take away their rights.

So... someone signed a petition IN PUBLIC about a BALLOT INITIATIVE, yet these people don't want others to know of the actions they did IN PUBLIC?

I honestly don;t see how these people believe that their privacy is being violated.
