Marcos Breton: Local PR man is pivotal foe of gay marriage


The most effective man fighting to deny the right of gay marriage in America is Frank Schubert of Sacramento.

Schubert ran the successful Yes on Proposition 8 campaign last year, the initiative banning gay marriage in California.

This week, when Maine voted to repeal a new law allowing gay marriage, Schubert was again the pivotal organizer.

If conventional wisdom on gay marriage inevitability were a balloon, Schubert would be the needle.

His win in California galvanized Yes on Prop. 8 believers from the right and left - from black to white to Latino and Asian. His win in Maine halted a tide of momentum for gay marriage in several states.

"The premise (of gay marriage) is wrong," Schubert said from his office near the Capitol. "Advocates want people to believe they are on the right side of history. They are not."
