California Governor Gavin Newsom joined other political leaders and LGBTQ+ advocates in San Francisco Friday to promote the 'Freedom to Marry' ballot initiative. While same-sex marriage s have been happening in California for the last two decades, the state constitution still says that gay couples are not allowed to marry.
At the event that was also attended by San Francisco Mayor London Breed and State Senator Scott Wiener, Newsom said this is critically important given the current attempts to roll back LGBTQ+ rights around the country.'It's a recognition of the urgency of the moment, and states are the front lines of those rights battles,' said Newsom.
