Proposition 8 passed 15 years ago this month, banning same-gender marriage in California. Two couples — one lesbian, one gay — sued to overturn the proposition and succeeded, with gay marriage made legal in California in 2013. The trial was videotaped, but those tapes didn't become public until last year. That inspired KQED reporters Scott Shafer and Carlos Cabrera-Lomeli to invite those two couples to watch their testimony and reflect on how much LGBTQ rights have changed — and how far we've yet to go. We'll talk with them and with plaintiffs Kris Perry and Sandy Stier, and we'll hear from you: What do you remember from Prop 8?

As we reported last week, Californians will get to vote in 2024 on whether to repeal Proposition 8, the state's dormant ban on same-sex marriage, once and for all. A new poll shows the repeal is likely to pass in a landslide, and LGBTQ leaders hope it will, to send a message to the rest of the country. 15 years ago, Californians narrowly approved Proposition 8, amending the state Constitution to ban same-sex marriage. It was later found unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court, legalizing gay marriage across the country. But that provision remains in the California Constitution, a kind of legal zombie line in the law, which means if this Supreme Court or a future one were to reverse its earlier ruling, same-sex marriage would again be outlawed in California. So the state legislature has put a measure on next year's ballot, to repeal Prop 8 and remove it from the Constitution. For more on this, KCBS poliwe are joined live today on the KCBS Ring Central Newsline by TONY HOANG, executive director of Equality California, the largest statewide LGBTQ rights organization in America.

In this part III of a four-part series analyzing the history of gender and sexuality in the LDS church from post WWII until present, Valerie and Taylor Petrey do a deep dive into gender, sexuality and how the following historical developments, policies, and political engagement are each connected to the LDS Church's attempts to keep in place heteronormativity due to the contagion theory of sexual orientation:   —Church Correlation Movement   —Family Home Evening Program   —Home Teaching Program   —Collaboration with the Religious Right   —The Equal Rights Amendment   —Prop 8   —The Proclamation to the World on the Family   —The 2015 Policy   In Friday's Final episode in this 4 Part Series,  Val and Taylor wrap up this fascinating series responding to those out there who claim that “No doctrine has ever changed regarding gender and sexuality in the LDS church".  In short...nothing could be more false!  They will walk you through a lengthy list of all of the ideas forwarded by various official leaders throughout the years on pre-mortal gender, post-mortal gender, birth control, sexually acceptable behaviors amongst married cisgendered people, and so much more.  They also will walk you through a historical list of proposed causes and cures forwarded by the Church for homosexuality over the years.   They conclude Friday's episode on a personal note, sharing how work in this area has deeply impacted them and why they both care so much about shining a light on this history.  Its all about healing our community and helping expand our ability to love.      Here is the link to subscribe and listen to the next episode in this series [and every Friday episode].           https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/valerie-hamaker/subscribe?fbclid=PAAaZOujT5Iv-ArVKxx_ZnsJryIeK7uymznxXxCfmDAjArPXxc9c6MCky899g_aem_ATa689KXBF31ycMSoST32hApZpdhYUynZdSHSbNSgCplOwFGXHIYlkS8IOvJbd5xJbU Tabernacles of Clay: https://amzn.to/3O7YJFi ___________________________________________________________________________  To financially support Valerie's ongoing ability to provide this content to you and others, become a patron of Latter Day Struggles here:https://www.patreon.com/LatterDayStruggles ____________________________________________________________________________ LIVE:  COURSES I and II of “A Couple's Guide to Faith Crisis and Expansion”.

EPISODE 78: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: 12 Republicans join the Democrats to give the codification of Marriage Equality a filibuster-proof majority. The Respect for Marriage Act will be law by Christmas (2:37) It seems so obvious; it is in fact breathtaking. 14 years ago a Democratic candidate could be elected POTUS without endorsing same-sex marriage. 26 years ago a Democratic president could sign legislation defining marriage as only between a man and a woman (4:02) And 14 years and exactly one week ago, I could startle viewers, my bosses, and some liberals by decrying the passage of Prop 8 in California - which TOOK AWAY Marriage Equality awarded by the courts - in a Special Comment called "A Question of Love" (12:15) This is how far we have come: Two months later I was approached by Sir Ian McKellan who said that the fact that I was able to incorporate those opinions into an American cable newscast meant "some of my hope for the future is restored." Today, with the path to codified Marriage Equality assured, some of MY hope for the future is restored. B-Block (17:48) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Penny, in Missouri (18:50) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Mike Pence defies Congress (and logic), now it's Stu Varney trashing Trump (to Trump's daughter-in-law), and a Democrat beats a Faux Democrat in LA (20:22) IN SPORTS: Two unanimous Cy Young Winners for the first time since Bob Gibson's 1.12 ERA and Denny McLain's 31 wins, Virginia cancels its football game, Kyrie coming back - but why? (23:11) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Laura Ingraham continuing to try to make the fabricated Pelosi Conspiracy Theory happen and Chris Licht drowning at CNN, compete with the executives of MSNBC, NBC News, and NBC. After getting fricasseed for firing Tiffany Cross to appease fascists like Tucker Carlson, they knew what to do: Trash her anonymously in The New York Post. C-Block (32:21) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: 30 years ago today, the Colorado Rockies and then-Florida Marlins were born in the baseball expansion draft which I anchored on ESPN. The draft followed one of the weirdest you're-gonna-die-on-THAT-hill things I ever witnessed in sports broadcasting. But most importantly: I can now confess that to get the scoop as to who would be the first pick, I did a terrible, terrible thing ;-)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Michael's conversation with attorneys David Boies and Theodore Olson, who argued the California Prop 8 case in court together (and were on opposite sides of the 2000 Bush V Gore legal challenges), on their book "Redeeming the Dream: The Case for Marriage Equality." Original air date 24 June 2014. The book was published on 17 June 2014.

Hey it's Pride Month! We all hear about Prop 8 and how the LDS church paid a boatload of money to make it go their way. We thought the actions the church took in the past which led to these actions needed to be brought to light. We also discuss Patriarch Joseph Fielding Smith who was called to the office while known to be gay, then was fired from the job once the bigots spoke out against him. Then, in our Media section, Shannon brings you a large list of books you should look into written by Mary Renault.

One of the things that I most enjoyed about the radio show and working with John Considine was that in the middle of an hour long discussion about the Supreme Court and Prop 8 was that we could be distracted by a promo for an upcoming show...

Jonny checks in on the first night of the Democratic National Convention, noting it is setting historical precedents for LGBTQ visibility and a pro-LGBTQ platform. He then takes a closer look at first night speeches by Senator Bernie Sanders and Michelle Obama. Jonny turns to a discussion of Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate for Vice President, reviewing some of the cautions we might have about her but also taking inventory of her considerable pro-LGBTQ bona fides.

Infamous, Oggy Rox, Maestro and Firefox are joined by special guest Jake (aka Cash) to discuss prop 8. As of 2019, this continues to be the most played episode in the history of the show.

Before this ridiculous Prop 8 was overturned, Allen had a lot to complain about.

As the midterm General Election approaches, I thought it would be worth sitting down with local experts and run down their thoughts on the ballot. In part two of this series, I am joined by Republican Mike Madrid, Principal at Grassroots Lab. Mike shared his thoughts on being a Republican today (1:00), and his perspective on the various propositions, measures, and races for office.

In today's episode of Propositioned, Kris Ankarlo takes a look at both sides of Proposition 8, a ballot measure that's targeting the dialysis clinic industry for exchanging blood for profits. Supporters of the ballot measure say this life-saving treatment is under threat by big corporations who make huge profits, but don't invest enough in things like basic sanitation and patient care. Opponents disagree, saying the ballot measure is nothing more than a negotiating tactic. Kris Ankarlo talks to both sides of the issue in the latest episode of Propositioned!

Nadine McCombs Hansen has been championing progressive causes within Mormonism for over three decades.  Some of her efforts include: Supporting the Equal Rights Amendment as a Mormon mother, including interactions with Sonia Johnson. Speaking out in favor of female priesthood ordination within Mormonism. Opposing Proposition 22 and Proposition 8 in California, in support of same-sex marriage. Working as an attorney in support of children of FLDS families. In this 4-part series, Nadine discusses her evolution and reflects on her life as a progressive Mormon pioneer.

For the last few episodes, I've been revisiting the marriage work that I did as an reporter and activist over the last decade. And this week we'll be talking about 8 the play, the dramatic interpretation of the prop 8 trial. I worked behind the scenes on mounting the star-studded premieres in New York and LA, and here to talk about it with me this week is the delightful James.

You've been asking for the return of The B-List. Here it is!! It's our TGIF Edition of The Spencer Hughes Show!   I spent Hour One on my support of gay marriage. A new Field Poll in California shows a record 61% of Californians now support gay marriage. And I agreed (gasp) with President Obama wanting the Supreme Court to strike down Prop 8 and other gay marriage bans.

7 AM - Ed Baxter and Rosie Allen fill in today; Austin Nimocks talks about Prop 8 heading to the Supreme Court; Calls about Prop 8.

If women are equal under the law, then bans on same-sex marriage are state-approved discrimination. We look at that and other arguments used by a federal judge to throw out Proposition 8 in California and set off arguments we'll be hearing for a long time. Also, the House votes on money to the states. On Reporter's Notebook, are girls reaching puberty earlier than they used to?

The Oil is all GONE! Corexit is candy! The leak is stopped! Shall we believe the official United States of Petroleum Reports???? Or maybe the leak we should be talking about is the horrifying WikiLeaks, because their leaks about all the unnecessary civilian bloodshed may be causing unnecessary civilian bloodshed??? Whiskey Tango Censored Foxtrot! Judge Walker knows Constitutional Law, as proven by his ruling on Prop 8... but we are told not to believe him, cuz he is teh gayz! Is that the best they've got???? We are finally leaving Iraq!!! Shall we celebrate the shiny new "advisory brigades" that replace the "combat brigades" without all that messy actual changing or leaving: The exact same people that were the latter have become the former! Go-bama! No, I mean it. GO! Leave!!!
