(And is this the same Rep. Will Smith who cited George "Carry My Luggage" Rekers in his UL editorial on how gays and lesbians can't be good parents? - promoted by Dean Barker)
Those of us for defending equality were well prepared. the problem started when thirty residents here in New Castle signed a petition calling on the town to vote at town meeting for a statewide referendum on the definition of marriage.In other words, taking away rights.
We had speeches ready to go as to why it's unacceptable to vote to discriminate against our friends and neighbors. People were, shall we say, fired up and ready to go.
Then former Rep Dan Hughes, who was the lead signer on the petition, failed to show up. He asked current Rep Will Smith, who voted against equal marriage rights, to read a letter at the town meeting.
He asked for a vote to indefinitely postpone!
Exactly what we intended to do. So poof! It's gone. Add New Castle to the proud list of towns who say NO to discrimination!
