Wisconsin attorneys represent all walks of life, representing people all over Wisconsin.  They hold different political viewpoints, practice in different areas of the law, live in urban areas, suburban areas, and rural areas.  Wisconsin attorneys oppose the ban for a variety of different reasons.  Here is what some Wisconsin attorneys have to say about the ban.

"I think the ban is mean-sprited.  I can't believe Wisconsin wants to amend its Constitution to do something so mean."  Atty. Eva Shiffrin, Madison

"Once we start amending our constitution to remove rights from some, the question is: ‘Who’s next?’" – Atty. Dan Freund Eau Claire

"I don’t think people know the amendment could aff ect lots of protections for both gay and straight people. From a legal standpoint, it’s scary." – Atty. Paul Sturgul Hurley

 “Amending Wisconsin’s constitution to enshrine discrimination is deplorable. Intolerance has no place in our state’s charter.  This is not just about unintended consequences to straight people.  This is morally wrong and we need to defeat it.”  Mitchell Hagopian
