Anti-gay initiative drive back on
http://www.ebar.com/news/article.php?sec=news&article=2655

After several months of apparent inactivity, one of the proposed anti-gay marriage state constitutional amendments may be gathering steam and could be headed for the November ballot.

Equality for All, a coalition of LGBT and other civil rights groups, is preparing to fight the possible initiative. Geoff Kors, executive director of Equality California, which is part of Equality for All, said the National Organization for Marriage and ProtectMarriage.com are working to promote the measure.

Signature gatherers have been spotted by people out in the field, Kors told the Bay Area Reporter Tuesday, January 29.

He said the measure's supporters have raised over $350,000 so far, and he said signatures are being collected in the Sacramento and Central Valley areas, as well as in Southern California. Kors said there isn't "extensive visibility" yet and that he wasn't aware of signatures being gathered in the Bay Area.

1. If these idiots want to protect hetero marriage
Why don't they ban divorce and adultery?

5. Is this just another effort to get the Religious Right to the polls?
While they're voting against gay marriage they can also cast a vote for John McCain.

Just watch -- many other states will have similar or as controversial initiatives on their ballots too.
