Proposition 8 's Lessons for One Queer Journalist In November 2008, California voters passed Proposition 8, taking away the right to marry from same-sex couples. But two years later, two same-sex couples sued the State of California in federal court. Prop 8 was eventually overturned. That landmark trial was videotaped, but the recordings were never released to the public. Until a few years ago, when KQED sued for access to the tapes and won. The U.S. Supreme Court allowed them to be unsealed in October 2022. KQED's community engagement reporter Carlos Cabrera Lomeli, spent hours watching those tapes. As a queer journalist covering California's gay marriage journey, Carlos says he learned a lot about himself in the process. Plus, we head to Santa Cruz where Judi Oyama first learned to ride a skateboard in the 1970s. Today, 50 years into a groundbreaking career, she's considered of the best skateboarders in the nation. In fact, Judi recently qualified to race at the World Skate Games in Rome this fall. At 64, she says she's the fastest she's ever been. KAZU's Erin Malsbury brings us her story.

This week I explore Propostion 8 and the vote to ban gay marriage in California both in 2008 and 2010, whilst reflecting on current political issues in America such as Roe Vs Wade. In other parts of the episode I discuss the ongoing treatment of Meghan Markle in the press and a brief mention of Scream VI... because, why not?

*Election 2020* As part of our special election coverage, we’re featuring Proposition 8, which – if approved by voters – would enact a 0.1 percent sales and use tax in Moab City to support recreation, arts, and parks. This would equate to one penny for every $10 spent, and would not be levied on groceries or gas. City manager Joel Linares, mayor Emily Niehuas, city council member Tawny Knuteson-Boyd, and arts advocate Rebecca McAllister joined This Week in Moab to discuss Proposition 8.

Proposition 8 is once again on California's ballot in November, but this one doesn't deal with same-sex marriage. Instead, voters will decide whether to regulate the amount outpatient kidney dialysis clinics can charge for dialysis treatment. Tony Lopez and Gary Dietrich look past the TV ads and explain the issue.

The country’s two biggest dialysis companies collect about 3 billion dollars a year from California dialysis clinics. Dialysis is the medical process that basically does what your kidneys should be doing, cleaning out toxins in the blood . Not only does the treatment cost about 90,000 dollars a year, but it can be a particularly grueling process for patients, who need the lengthy routine procedure.

Stephen Reinhardt, who was called the “liberal lion” of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, passed away on March 29th in Los Angeles. During his almost 40 years on the appeals court bench, Reinhardt wrote opinions that struck down the constitutionality of the words “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance and overturned Proposition 8, California’s initiative defining marriage as a male-female union. Reinhardt’s death means that there are now seven vacancies on the notoriously liberal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. President Trump has an historic opportunity to remake the Ninth Circuit—and the entire federal judiciary. The vast majority of his judicial nominees thus far have been stellar. They will adhere to the rule of law and interpret the Constitution based on the words in it, not the ideas they want to be in it. The President should continue his good work in this arena. Doing so will remake federal jurisprudence for decades to come.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Supreme Court is wading into the fight over same-sex marriage at a time when public opinion is shifting rapidly in its’ permission of gay and lesbian couples to wed.  To date, 40 states don't allow it.  Supporters of Proposition 8 say the court should respect the verdict of California voters who approved the ban in 2008 and let the fast-changing politics of gay marriage evolve on their own.  Join our discussion.  Open forum.

On this historic day when the United States Supreme Court is considering the legality of gay marriage, we share with you our interview with Brett Bradshaw. Brett is the son of longtime Mormon LGBT advocates Marge and William Bradshaw.

HOST: From KALW News in San Francisco, I'm Casey Miner with this local news update. Advocates of same-sex marriage are celebrating in San Francisco today, after a federal court ruled California's Proposition 8 unconstitutional. The majority decision upholds a lower court ruling against the ballot measure, which has banned same-sex unions since 2008. KALW's Jayme Catsouphes has more. AMBI Cheering CATSOUPHES: The court found that Prop 8 lessens “the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California.” Earlier today, dozens of people gathered outside the federal building to celebrate the 2 to 1 decision. Joe Capley-Alfano said he and his husband have been worn down by discrimination. CAPLEY-ALFANO: I grew up hearing the messages that I didn’t matter and that I could never fall in love, and that gays were incapable of loving, and other horrible stereotypes like that. And I’m really happy now that the next generation of kids don’t have to grow up that way. They get to grow up in a world where they are included and accepted and treated as equals, and that’s an amazing thing. CATSOUPHES: San Francisco Supervisor Scott Weiner represents the Castro District – the same district that Harvey Milk represented 30 years ago. Milk was the city’s first openly gay elected official. WEINER: When Supervisor Milk was in office, it was a lot less clear whether LGBT people would ever get true equality in this country. Today, we can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel. We still have a ways to go but we can actually see the end game here, and that’s something that I’m sure Harvey Milk is smiling from heaven right now. CATSOUPHES: The ruling applies only to same-sex marriage in California. Proponents of Proposition 8 are expected to appeal to the US Supreme Court; the advocacy group Protect Marriage issued a statement saying today’s decision “disregards the will of 7 million Californians.” For KALW News, I’m Jayme Catsouphes.

It’s now legal for gay couples to be married in California, but that doesn’t stop the backlash from the opposition!

(May 26, 2009) Todd Wilken of Issues, Etc., interviews Dr J on the reactions to the California Supreme Court's decision to uphold Proposition 8.

What is Proposition 8 and why conservative Christians be in favor or against it? What does the bible say about same-sex marriages and homosexuality? Should Christians focus more on fixing heterosexual relationships instead of fighting against homosexual ones?

A look at Proposition 8  and talk about  what went wrong with the No on 8 campaign, whether  issues of racism have divided us,  and we look at  the invisible  underlying economic  issues of the anti-gay marriage movement  and  move us beyond looking at religion and homophobia and give us an alternative progressive vision of how to view this issue. Lisa Dettmer talks  with NYU  Professor Lisa Duggan and Kenyon Farrow both from Beyond Marriage.org.  And we will also look at the Economic and Financial Crisis and ask " What's Feminism Got to Do With It?"  Kate Raphael talks with feminist economist Cecilia Conrad and policy analyst Erica Williams.
