"Yes. It’s a free country. The voters should have a right to vote on that. It would be annoying and unfair if the LGBT community loses their rights. But if that’s the way the vote turns out, that’s life."

"No. I don’t think that someone’s rights should be able to be repealed. We’re all supposed to be guaranteed the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Nobody should be able to take that away. It’s guaranteed by the Constitution."

"No. I don’t have faith in the majority. It would be like giving a loaded gun to a child. I do believe in the voting system but not for something as sensitive and important as LGBT civil rights. I’m afraid prejudice will overrule facts and logic."

"No. The civil-rights laws allow people to do what they want to do, as human beings. Nobody has a right to take that away. There shouldn’t be a voter referendum to strip away rights."
