I'm so excited! I managed to convince one of my 'going to vote yes based upon the word marriage' co-workers that marriage is a verb these days, and allowing same-sex marriage isn't going to do anything to weaken her marriage. She thought about it over the weekend, and decided that she couldn't take away the rights of her Aunt. She voted no. Her husband couldn't get away from the term marriage and voted yes. She tried to convince him otherwise, but he just couldn't get around the term. If it was to allow marriage benefits and to call them civil unions (for everyone) he would have voted no.
I also made my own NO on 8 signs. Using the actual design of the signs I added white space and the verbiage "Please don't take away the rights of my friends". I'm going to make a few more "Don't Hate. Don't Discriminate" and if I'm feeling ornery "Can I vote on your right to marry?" and "marriage should be protected from the 'straights'. Brittany anyone? How about Madonna? Or McCain and his affair?".
