Endorsement: Yes on Proposition 3. Remove same-sex bigotry from the California Constitution

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : California has changed since 2008 when it comes to attitudes about same-sex marriage, and that's all to the good.
51% : Same-sex couples need official protection, which Proposition 3 on the Nov. 5 ballot would guarantee them.
43% : By that time, a USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll had already found that 58% of Californians believed that same-sex marriage deserved legal protection.
43% : That means same-sex marriage could be subjected to the same ideological attack.
34% : Proposition 3 gives Californians an opportunity to formally renounce a wrongful moment in our voting history and step forward to positively affirm that bigotry toward same-sex couples has no place in our state or its Constitution.
33% : Despite voting overwhelmingly for Barack Obama for president that year, the state's electorate also passed Proposition 8, a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
