Campaign Launched to Overturn Prop 8

The campaign to overturn California's Proposition 8, which limits marriage to a man and a woman, began in earnest yesterday. Advocates are hoping to gather 1 million signatures to place an initiative on the ballot in 2010 to repeal the state's ban on same-sex marriage. If successful, California would become the first state in which voters approved the rights of gay people to marry (Reuters).
