Yes on 3 confident CA will finally vote for marriage equality

The Bay Area Reporter | by John Ferrannini | October 16, 2024

The Yes on Proposition 3 campaign is confident California voters will decide November 5 to remove language prohibiting same-sex marriage from the state constitution. While the campaign lacks the big bucks and involvement of religious leaders that the Proposition 8 fight had 16 years ago, attitudes among voters seem to have shifted toward LGBTQ equality.

Another group on the steering committee is Courage California. Executive Director Irene Kao, who is queer and based in Oakland, said that it is “helping gather stories and storytellers of people who have of course gotten married since Prop 8 was overturned to help give a human face to this campaign, and we’re making sure a lot of partners and voters know this is on the ballot.”

Kao said that Courage California is sending its members to virtual text banking that the Yes on 3 campaign has set up.
