Discord among gay-marriage opponents leads to dueling initiatives: "In the latest initiative struggle, a group called Vote Yes Marriage favors a detailed, multi-paragraph constitutional amendment. It would specify how it would rescind the steady stream of marriage-like rights lawmakers granted domestic partners over the last five years while preserving marriage itself as a union between a man and a woman."

A depressing look at what's in store beyond Mark Leno's bill getting the governator's veto. The initiative process is such a complete nightmare... You could pass an initiative in CA to enslave grandmothers with the right amount of money and PR.
