Oh, you guys. You deserve celebratory sparkle text:
Yes, I'm a creepy stalker and spotted some of your names among those who did sign, so a big THANKS for that. On the family front? Well. The kinds of conversation I'd like to have about things like these run something like this:
Me: "Hey, there's this petition about adding sexual identity to article 3 in our basic law!"
Family: "Sounds great, I'll sign it."
Me: "Neat, thanks!"
Me: "Hey, there's this petition about adding sexual identity to article 3 in our basic law!"
Family: "... But you have to sign up to sign it!"
Thanks to those of you who signed the petition!

or,
Family: "I have X reason not to sign, so I won't."
Me: "Ok, I see, well, thanks, anyway!"
Rather than: Me: "Ok, I see, well, thanks, anyway!"
Me: "Hey, there's this petition about adding sexual identity to article 3 in our basic law!"
Family: "... But you have to sign up to sign it!"
"But there are only so few people signing that thing, it won't make a difference if I do it, so I won't bother!" (Logic, are you in there?)
"I never sign petitions!" (...?)
"..."
It's kind of depressing that not even families of people who are affected by this can be bothered. Ah, well. Makes the ones who do sign more special, I suppose...?"I never sign petitions!" (...?)
"..."
