As we’ve been reporting, unprecedented numbers of LGBT candidates and our Allies are on the polls. So many—both national and local—that it would actually be impossible to list them!
So as our Boston Spirit Publisher David Zimmerman summed it all up in his pre-election publisher’s letter, we offer two important words:
“Please Vote.”
Wrote Zimmerman:
We’ve got contests with local implications, contests with national implications and a series of ballot questions, one of which could have massive implications for our transgender neighbors.
On November 6, Massachusetts residents will be asked to vote on ballot Question 3. Question 3 seeks to roll back protections that were voted into place several years ago to protect member of the transgender community from discrimination in places of public accommodation. According to polls, the outcome is still very much in doubt (which is equally amazing and incredibly sad). If those who are looking to overturn the current law are successful, it would be catastrophic to the LGBT community, not only locally but across the country as it would energize anti-LGBT forces from coast to coast and give them the “blueprint” for legalizing bigotry.
We cannot allow this to happen. Get out and vote, make sure your friends and family get out and vote. And remember to vote YES ON QUESTION 3. If you have any additional questions on the ballot question visit www.freedommassachusetts.org.
So vote. Please vote today.
