Groups begin talk of ballot wording for Prop 8 Repeal

Not only is there debate over just when marriage equality proponents should return to the ballot to restore same-sex marriage in California, there is also disagreement about the exact wording for an initiative.

Prop 8 proponents used both religion and school lessons to great effect during last year's fight, and the No on 8 campaign was slow to respond to television commercials that stated kids would be taught about same-sex marriage in school. That issue continues to vex marriage equality proponents, as evidenced by polling data that was unveiled during a leadership summit in Fresno last month. Full Story from the Bay Area Reporter
