Equality challenged on Ballot

Something is wrong with this picture:

Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire signed a gay civil rights bill into law Tuesday that adds “sexual orientation” to a state law banning discrimination in housing, employment, insurance and credit.
...
But if initiative promoter Tim Eyman gets his way, it will be frozen until November's general election.

Civil Rights move forward... unless enough bigots can overturn the law? The hate filled actions of these anti-equality folk hurt my mind sometimes. Imagine if the Clan would have tried this in the '60s. Oy!
