One of the petitioners for Referendum 71, the shamelessly homophobic measure trying to repeal the domestic partnership bill, is desperate to gather signatures before the deadline this Saturday. He posted the ad below on Craigslist today. But he doesn't hate gay people (homos are simply sinners who are ruining America), he's not homophobic (he's wearing camo to blend in with the rest of Tacoma), and he's just lying to protect his children (who he is also using as human shields). Here's the ad [sic throughout]:

For anyone who is a legal registered voter in washington and has not yet signed R-71, I would love to meet with you tommorow and give you an oppurtunity to sign this petition. R-71 would preserve traditional marrige and protect our children from having to undergo manditory teachings in grades K-12,that its normal to be homosexual, if we dont get enough signatures then this type of false teaching would become manditory even over the objections of the students or their parents.

I will be at titlow park near the beach tomorrow from 1100-1230, Just look for the guy with the two kids and the camo pants. Please note that I am not a gay basher and do not hate homosexuals, I just personally dont believe in it, and am convinced that it is one of many sinful behaviors that our erroding americas moral foundations. If you plan on signing this please feel free to email me so I know how many petitions to bring. If your just planning to send death threats or hatemail to me please dont, as I read these emails with my children and dont care to explain what your saying to them.

And yes, it's legal to lie about a petition.
