\fs32 1. The supporters of the proposed Amendment want to single out gay people for legal discrimination. They want the special right to fire someone just for being gay. Reasonable voters say NO to legalized discrimination. \par
\par
2. They would eliminate your Fair Housing and Human Rights Ordinances. Passage of this amendment takes away protections for everyone (Judge Donald E. Shelton, Washtenaw County Circuit Court, August 2, 2002).\par
\par
3. WARNING! The anti-gay groups will try to trick you with misleading language. They say things like \ldblquote quota preferences,\rdblquote  \ldblquote preferential treatment,\rdblquote  or \ldblquote special rights\rdblquote  to hide the real goal of the amendment. They don't want gay people to have the same protections against discrimination that everyone else in our city has.\par

4. We have already voted on this. What part of NO don\rquote t they understand? Why are we voting on it again?\par
