In today's hostile environment, we have to make sure our voices are impossible to ignore, Low says.
Low, currently a member of the California Assembly, is running for a U.S. House seat from Silicon Valley.
California out Assemblymember Evan Low said he was inspired to introduce this bill by an 8-year-old girl who asked, “Why should a store tell me what a girl’s shirt or toy is?”
Low will succeed Annise Parker, who announced several months ago that she planned to step down.
The final vote count shows Low in a tie for second with Joe Simitian, so both will be on the general election ballot, along with Sam Liccardo. The primary was held March 5.
An amendment would remove language from the state constitution that states “only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”
It would repeal the anti-marriage equality language of the infamous Proposition 8.
