Marriage Equality (version 2)

October 30, 2009

 


This measure amends the State Constitution to (1) repeal Proposition 8, which states that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California, and (2) define marriage as between only two persons no matter their race, color, na-tional origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, or religion. In addition, the measure states that it does not require clergy of any church to perform a marriage in violation of his or her religious beliefs.
