RALLY AGAINST SSM IN CA: From 365Gay.com

Conservatives crowded onto the steps of the California Capitol Monday to condemn legislation that would permit same-sex couples to get marriage licenses.

"We are here to stand up and say this is not right," Assemblyman Bill Maze (R-Visalia) said. "We have many, many who are very much Bible believing individuals and they believe that what is spoken in there was Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve."

The bill, sponsored by Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) is expected to be introduced in the Assembly this week. "This is a civil rights bill, pure and simple," Leno said. "There are no constitutional and legal grounds on which to deny the issuance of marriage licenses to loving, same sex couples."

But conservatives disagree pointing to Proposition 22, passed in 2000, that says only marriage between a man and a woman is recognized in California.
Leno, however, said the proposition only deals with state recognition of out-of-state marriages, and his bill will only focus on marriage licenses issued in California.
