Gay Marriage Groups File Ballot Challenge to Prop 8

A coalition of gay groups have filed language to repeal Proposition 8, the initiative that banned gay marriage in California. Although larger gay groups such as Equality California have opted to wait until 2012 to challenge the ban, groups such as Love Honor Cherish, WhiteKnot.org, and Equality Network have submitted the proposal for the November 2010 election. If passed, the proposal will replace Section 7.5 of the state constitution – "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognised in California" – with "Marriage is between only two persons and shall not be restricted on the basis of race, color, creed, ancestry, national origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, or religion."
