Reinstates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry. Initiative Constitutional Amendment.
Summary Date: 11/13/09 Circulation Deadline: 04/12/10 Signatures Required: 694,354
Proponents: John Henning, Jordan Krueger, Raphael Farrow, Andrew Klayman Jo Hoenninger, Peter Nguyen, Thomas Watson, Edwin Rivera, Angie-Marie Hancock, and Fredy Ceja. California Attorney General Jerry Brown provides the following description:
Repeals the current provision in California’s Constitution that states only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California. Provides that marriage is between only two persons and shall not be restricted on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, or religion. Clarifies that the initiative shall not be interpreted to require any priest, minister, pastor, rabbi, or other person to perform a marriage in violation of his or her religious beliefs. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Over the long run, this measure would likely have little fiscal impact on state and local governments. (source: sos.ca.gov / ballot code: 09-0042.)

"March for Life" counter-protests(January 24, 2009, 10:30 AM)
The fights for reproductive rights, marriage equality, and separation of church and state are essentially the same: to prevent religion from influencing politics, and to get the government out of our private lives. The group of counter-protesters is usually so small that it's dwarfed by the huge "March for Life" (whose participants are bussed in to San Francisco from great distances). Let's boost the number of counter-protesters this year and make a big positive statement for the media.
Meet near Justin Herman Plaza at the Music Concourse, at Stuart & Market Streets.

Do we know if anything has been/is being organized for the Take A Stand National DOMA Protest in San Francisco for Jan. 10th, 2009? I think it's a great way to show we're still rolling out for Protest and keeping the movement going in 2009! Please let me know if I can help in any way. I don't live in San Francisco, but I always make it to the protests!
