The Tide Is Turning



According to the Field Poll - the most respected statewide California poll - the electorate here in the Golden State, which just a few years ago strongly endorsed a statewide ballot initiative against same-sex marriage, is coming around on the issue.

Fifty-one percent of those polls said they oppose a likely November referendum amending the state constitution to outlaw gay marriage. News accounts of the poll are here and here, and you can read the actual Field Poll report here.

The results are encouraging, but close. The battle over this referendum will be long, tough, and costly. You can learn more about the coalition forming to fight the assault on LGBT rights, and donate to the campaign for our rights, by going to the website for Equality for All.
