The gentleman who initiated the petition gave the best reasons for making the petitions open to the public.  He did not like the feeling of being known but if the shoe was on the other foot as it has been in the past.  He would like to know who signed petitions to keep certain religions, social groups and political groups as illegal if he were members of that group.  It has been my experience the vary thing he feared was what happened to gays with discrimination in jobs, housing and social services.
