They own an Antique business here in Massachusetts.

Of course they do. Tell us more...

[warsaw44]

- and yes, as a resident of Massachusetts I sure as hell will be signing this petition.

[coconutt2000]

If I lived in Mass. I wouldn't mind my name being publicly outed as being against gay marriage.

I'd figure that most gays wouldn't care anyway, and if I owned a business that had gay customers, I'd probably only lose a few of them and gain a lot of new business from the free publicity.

(Because most of the gay people I've talked to don't care about gay marriage. Their concern is with the alleged attempts to take away their civil rights, which isn't in the works except in the propaganda handed out by gay activists.)

This was posted 3 times yesterday. These 2 are going to get what's left of their sorry butts sued off if they try to intimidate voters.

Zackly. If you can't publicly stand behind your principles then you need to evaluate your principles.

I draw the line at publishing people's addresses. That is virtually an incitement to harrassment and worse.

I know that most people's addresses can be found on Internet phone directories anyway, but to publish their addresses in connection with this effort is the worst kind of intimidation.

A lot of people who would sign this petition have families and kids, and would think twice about making their homes a public target for the expressed anger of any kook with a point to make.

This is disgusting. Gaystapo absolutely.

Sounds good. I want to publish the list of Cambridge liberals who signed the petition to keep out of their city a half-way house for sexual offenders

Even better than that,check out what these same Cambridge progressivesdid to a school that had a largely black enrollment.Here's how the Harvard Crimson reported it. http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=241470

"badge of honor?"

give me a friggin' break...sounds more like a "bag of BS"

these queers want their lifestyle to be "just like normal people's" and recognized by us as "legal" and moral...well guess what, Musketeers, IT AIN'T!
Never has been and never will be!

Try reading the Bible and pass it on.

gezzzzzzzz

now, where's my "not this shit again" pic???

we've got Americans in the Gulf who don't have a home anymore and Americans in Afghanistan & Iraq dying every day and we're supposed to care about a bunch of queers wanting to be included in the mainstream???

I don't think soooooooooooooo...
in fact I KNOW NEVER!

Now back to things that reeeeeeely matter!

[worldclass]

Just for fun I googled one part of the "couple":

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&rls=GGLD%2CGGLD%3A2005-03%2CGGLD%3Aen&q=Alexander+Westerhoff&btnG=Search

"Thomas I. Lang, 37, and Alexander Westerhoff, 31, antiques dealers from Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts, held their civil union ceremony on July 1, 2000, at 12:30 a.m. in the Brattleboro Town Bandstand.

The couple, who have been together nearly 13 years, traveled to Vermont via limousine with four of their closest friends.

Gay-Civil-Unions.com extends their best wishes to the couple and congratulates them for becoming the first male couple and the first out-of-state couple to be united under Vermont's new civil union law. We wish them a long and happy life together.

"

They seemed to be pretty outspoken. Pretty sick all around.

[redgolum]

I expect we will see more and more of this type of strong arm tactic.

This has happened before. Only question is if Americans have the guts to stand up before it is to late.

[expatguy]

More information please.

Location and the name of the store - maybe even the telephone number.

[worldclass]

"This was posted 3 times yesterday"

Sorry...usually I do a search but this time took the lazy way out figuring no one would have posted a Herald article.

Good to see it a few times anyway. ;-)

[Gay State Conservative]

I will be every bit as proud to find my name on their list as they would be to be mentioned on a list of attendees at the annual Boston Revolutionary Gay Bath House Orgy.

[Andy'smom]

Guess what? We have an interesting article in today's paper:

http://news.bostonherald.com/localPolitics/view.bg?articleid=101710

Seems some of them have reconsidered.

See also a few posts above for more.

I searched trying to a find a name but even the Globe only says that they own an antique shop..no name give...interesting.

[warsaw44]

The location of the store is in 144 Main Street Essex Massachusetts and is under Alexander Westerhoff Antiques. But all of that is public information and is found in Google and with simply calling 411.
No big secret at all. If you Google their names the fact that they are antique dealers and even where they live comes up.

[worldclass]

Could this be them:

Interesting that other members of the Gaystopo are condemning this. But where were they in Lexington a few days ago. Can we bring back tar and feathering?

[warsaw44]

Essex Massachusetts is filled with antique stores and auction outfits.

[Marysecretary]

I was an antiques dealer for many years and there are SO many gay dealers. You can spot them a mile away. I really liked most of them I did business with but they could be very sarcastic and gossipy.

[DA740]

Perfect. This guys innovation will pit the flamers against the rest of us. And they are hopelessly outnumbered.

I hope I'm first on their internet list as a signer of the petition outlawing same-sex marriage.
