Political consultant Chad Griffin told attendees at this weekend's Equality Summit in Los Angeles, "There is one thing worse than losing Prop. 8, and that would be losing again." But a growing chorus of California gays and lesbians disagree. Rick Jacobs and the Courage Campaign are leading the way on a 2010 ballot initative that would overturn Prop. 8. Jacobs said, "I don't think anybody knows when is the best time to go back. My philosophy is having it go every time, and eventually we will win." It's the first major decision the LGBT community has had to face in the wake of gay marriage being outlawed in the Golden State and all signs point to it being a divisive flash point.
