"It's always funny when those who try to wrap themselves in the veils of freedom and democracy are generally the first ones who don't want others to know what they're up to."
That's because it isn't Freedom when someone is spying or watching you, especially without your consent. Democracy is anonymous, fighting for change can't be: there are personal reasons behind it. The problem with this specific petition is that there is a large part of the population who are violent and unreasonable with people who are in love with and have relationships with the same sex. It's not about being a Coward, it's about personal safety.
People will just have to weight the cost even more now.

There is a plus side to this: people will have to get serious about what they wish to get involved in. I'm queer identified but there are times when people thing the best thing they can do is just make a signature for a cause, without actually going out and supporting a cause.
Mind you, if you don't have to share your Vote with the general public, these details should probably be kept from their eyes as well. There are people who will harm you, and there is always the chance the Government would put you on a watch list if you supported a change that didn't fit their agenda.
I know I sound like I am sitting on the fence here, but in the end if you want change you have to put yourself behind it, or else it is not something you really want changed.
Where there's a will, there's a relative.
