EQCA Warns Of New CA Propositions

Equality California recently warned of four anti-GLBT initiatives filed in Sacramento:

"Equality California is closely monitoring four ballot initiatives that were recently filed with the Attorney General's office in Sacramento. All four measures would ask California voters to amend the state constitution to ban marriage for same-sex couples. Two of the initiatives go even further and would void all of California's current domestic partnership rights, which lawmakers, EQCA, community activists and our allies fought so hard to earn.

This attack on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community comes from two different groups. The two ballot measures that would ban marriage and void domestic partnerships were filed by VoteYesMarriage.com, a campaign backed by Randy Thomasson, founder and President of Campaign for Children and Families.

The other two amendments that would ban marriage, but not domestic partnerships, were filed by Gail Knight among others, whose campaign ”ProtectMarriage.com” has the backing of powerful and well-funded organizations like Focus on the Family and Family Research Council."
