Marriage rights
Vermont, Iowa, DC, now Maine. Why is Californika so backward? Massive political propaganda efforts by the LDS and Catholic churches.
How do I get a ballot prop to shitcan Prop 8 on the ballot in 2010?? Something like:
"SECTION 1. Title This measure shall be known and may be cited as the "California Marriage Equality Act."
SECTION 2. Change Section 7.5 of Article I of the California Constitution, to read:
SEC. 7.5. All marriages between two consenting adults are equally valid and recognized in California. "
If this won't pass, then remove the word "marriage" from all California state laws and Constitution. If "marriage" is a religious institution to be "protected", then it has no business in US or State law, because of the First Amendment. If it's civil, then religious biases against it are moot.

The union of adults of different families to form a new, society-recognized family unit, is (AFAIK) universal to human cultures, regardless of religion.
