I'm 73 years old. My wife is 58. We were married after our child-bearing years. We love each other, and we contribute as a couple to our friends and community. How are we different from a same-sex couple, if marriage is about caring for children? Should we also be denied the right to be married?

The common argument for the referendum process is that citizens have the right to act when the legislature doesn’t. When someone signs a petition, they become a de-facto legislator. These petitions have real consequences in law. Legislators of any kind cannot be anonymous. The analogy to a secret ballot is false. When you sign a petition, you are attempting to legislate, and that is different from voting.
