Kris Mineau Believe Quotations

Many citizens who oppose gay marriage also oppose civil unions. The coalition believes it is confusing and unethical to restrict citizens to one vote on two opposing issues, which this amendment would have done.

There's nothing devious about this. We wouldn't take this level of effort for something that wouldn't be legally sound. We went through a year of research and studying the Massachusetts constitution and the restrictions on citizen initiatives to make sure the language met the requirements. We believe it is constitutionally sound, and the attorney general, who doesn't agree with us, does also.
