Objects to Prop. 8's New Language

Supporters of a California ballot measure that would amend the state constitution to ban gay marriage filed a lawsuit against California attorney general Jerry Brown on Monday. According to the Associated Press, Brown's office changed Proposition 8's ballot title and summary to say the measure seeks to "eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry." The original wording had simply defined marriage in California as a union between a man and a woman.

Project Marriage coalition spokeswoman Jennifer Kerns called the new language inherently argumentative and believes it will prejudice voters against the initiative.

Her group intends to file a lawsuit Monday to get the language changed back. (The Advocate)
