Senator Dianne Feinstein Says No to Gay Marriage Ban

Dianne Feinstein against Proposition 8"As a state, I believe we should uphold the ability of our friends, neighbors and co-workers who are gay and lesbian to enter into the contract of marriage," said California Sen. Dianne Feinstein in a statement about Proposition 8, that November ballot initiative that seeks to ban gay marriage in California.

Also last week, it was Republicans vs. Republicans. The state party had endorsed Proposition 8 and the local one to Los Angeles was planning to follow suit. But Scott Schimdt from Republicans Against 8 strongly believes this goes against what Republicans stand for. "We are focused on reaching Republicans who are willing to listen about how Proposition 8 violates conservative values like limited government, personal responsibility and fundamental freedoms," he said to the Daily News.
