California Homosexualist Leader: "We Do Not See a Path to Victory" for Same-Sex 'Marriage' in 2010
"We do not see a path to victory."

LOS ANGELES, California, December 4, 2009
The head of a leading homosexualist campaign in California has concluded that there is no foreseeable way to reverse the state's constitutional amendment enshrining marriage as between a man and a woman, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.
"We do not see a path to victory," Courage Campaign's Rick Jacobs told the newspaper on November 30. Jacobs said he reached the conclusion after spending more than $200,000 on "qualitative research" into the issue.
In a letter to supporters, the campaign called for "for more research and time to change hearts and minds before returning to the ballot."
Lambda legal, another leading homosexualist group, agreed with the Courage Campaign's evaluation. "Putting this measure to a vote in 2012 is the strongest strategy," said the group. The Leaders of Equality California, which had led the charge against Proposition 8 last year, has also stated it would wait to revisit the matter.
Despite the objections, a coalition of 40 homosexualist organizations submitted an initiative in September for the 2010 ballot to re-institute same-sex "marriage."
Last month, nearly 60% of Californians responding in a poll by the Los Angeles Times and the University of Southern California said they did not want to revisit the marriage question.
