San Diego Joins the 21st Century supports gay marriage.

Do you know where your city stands. Would you support a Mayor that voted to suppurt gay marriage or would you try to recall him/her?

Mayor Jerry Sanders reversed his position on gay marriage Wednesday, supporting it in emotional remarks punctuated by pauses, shaking sips of water and his wife's hand resting one time reassuringly on his back.
...

A day after staff members said Sanders would veto it, the mayor announced that he would sign a City Council resolution passed Tuesday that directed the City Attorney's Office to file a brief in support of gay marriage. The council voted 5-3 to send the brief to the state Supreme Court backing an end to the state's ban on same-sex marriage. Similar briefs have been sent by other cities, which like San Diego, are not directly involved in the case. Almost 200 people attended the council hearing on the issue, with gay marriage supporters arguing for equal treatment under the law, and opponents contending marriage should be between a man and a woman. “As I reflected on the choices that I had before me last night I could just not bring myself to tell an entire group of people in our community they were less important, less worthy or less deserving of the rights and responsibilities of marriage than anyone else simply because of their sexual orientation,” Sanders said. In a reference to his daughter and two staff members who are gay, he said, “I want for them the same thing that we all want for our loved ones, for each of them to find a mate whom they love deeply and loves them back, someone with whom they can grow old together and share life's experiences, and I want their relationships to be protected equally under the law.” In his 2005 mayoral campaign, Sanders said he supported civil unions and domestic partnerships but not gay marriage. “I have personally wrestled with that opinion ever since,” he said Wednesday his voice wavering. “My opinions on this issue have evolved significantly as I think the opinions of millions of Americans from all walks of life have.” In a nod to those who don't support gay marriage, he said, “I acknowledge that not all members of our community will agree or even understand.

I'm a knuckle dragging caveman that wouldn't support this action.

I'm not in a city, so there's no mayor to support or recall. But if I were, I'd support him/her. I'm in favor of gay civil marriage.

On the other hand, if my pastor announced that he was going to begin performing gay marriages in our church, I'd do what I could to get the board of elders to remove him. If that didn't work I'd be shopping for a new church.

EVERYONE HAS AIDS!!!! AIDS AIDS AIDS!

i think if somebody tried to recall a mayor that supported gay marriage, they would be a conservative dumbass bastard... If a gay person wants to get married, it has nothing to do with anybody but the couple that wants it...

Looks like maybe you should have posted this in D.C.

yah, DC would be a better place. so everybody says every time this stuff comes up

I don't care. All marriage means is she gets half your shit.

So it wouldn't bother you that "Billy with two dads" is getting his ass kicked at school everyday? No child should be subjected to that.
