Join us this Sunday, October 25th, as we gather to protect marriage in the nation's capital!
The Stand4MarriageDC team, led by Bishop Harry Jackson, has filed an initiative petition to preempt the DC City Council's plans to push through a same-sex marriage bill co-sponsored by 10 of the Council's 13 members. If successful, the initiative would put same-sex marriage before DC voters. The Board of Elections, however, is threatening to reject the marriage initiative, claiming it violates the DC Human Rights Act, and is thus ineligible to be voted on as an initiative measure. Join us in telling the DC Council that they've ignored the people of the District long enough. When it comes to marriage, it's time to let the people have the final say. It looks like the weather will be perfect . . . so tell your friends, announce it at church, and then come on down to take a Stand For Marriage in our nation's capital! Hope to see you there! |
Faithfully, |

The Board of Elections and Ethics is not threatening anything“The Board of Elections, however, is threatening to reject the marriage initiative, claiming it violates the DC Human Rights Act, and is thus ineligible to be voted on as an initiative measure.”
The Board of Elections and Ethics is not threatening anything at all. They are going to hold a hearing, as required by the law governing Referendums and Initiatives, on whether the measure is a proper subject for initiative.
One of the criteria for rejecting an intitiative is if it “authorizes, or would have the effect of authorizing, discrimination prohibited under…” the D.C. Human Rights Act.
The outcome is pretty clear, but the BOEE is not threatening to do anything but follow the law.
FEHBrian, Maggie and the Batshit don’t have a chance against the DC Human Rights Act.
What kind of response should there be?Is this worth a counter protest? I was thinking of just going, photographing people and asking where they’re from. I wonder how unafraid these people are to say they’re from MD or VA.
Or do we stage a kiss in? What do blenders think?

Just the type to play Pied Piper to the good citizens of the Chocolate City, don’t you think?

I bet he……secretly trolls bookstores and bars looking for some “fun” – you know, help a buddy out. He so looks like the type — married by day, troll by night.
