Senator Feinstein Opposes Prop 8

As polls continue to show that a proposed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage in California is in trouble, US Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) has come out against the measure.
“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,” Feinstein said in a statement released by her office. “[It is a matter of] equality and fairness.”
It is the first time Feinstein has spoken out against the measure, known as Proposition 8.
