Senator Mark Leno introduced a resolution Tuesday that would put the state Legislature on the record as opposing Proposition 8, the gay marriage ban that was approved by voters on the November ballot.
Senate Resolution 7 was co-authored by Leno (D-San Francisco), Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) and the LGBT Legislative Caucus, and was sponsored by Equality California, a group dedicated to ensuring civil rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered individuals.

The Yes on 8 Campaign responded.
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Dec 02, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Leaders of the ProtectMarriage.com - Yes on Proposition 8 campaign today accused legislators of "grandstanding for the cameras" in an inappropriate and misguided publicity stunt designed to influence the California Supreme Court in the lead-up to the Court's scheduled hearing on the validity of Proposition 8.
"You'd think that these legislators would be focused on resolving the budget deficit or improving the economy. Instead, they seem more interested in grandstanding for the cameras and thumbing their noses at voters who enacted Proposition 8 by a nearly 600,000 vote margin," said Ron Prentice, Chairman of ProtectMarriage.com - Yes on 8. "Sadly, with an approval rating hovering at an all-time low of 15%, the Legislature continues to disregard their duties to the citizens of California."
