Sacramento Bee: A coalition that wants to put gay marriage before voters again in 2010 filed language for a ballot initiative with Attorney General Jerry Brown's office Thursday. If the language is cleared, supporters have until April 16 to gather nearly 700,000 valid signatures to get an initiative on the Nov. 2010 ballot.
"We need to get our rights back. It's really just that simple," said John Henning, executive director of Love Honor Cherish, a pro-same-sex marriage organization. The effort is backed by the Los Angeles Chapter of Stonewall Democrats and the Mexican American Bar Association, among others.
Henning said the coalition is raising money to finance signature-gathering, and will rely heavily on volunteers in target regions. The new initiative would repeal Proposition 8, which declared marriage as only between a man and woman.
