The coalition for marriage equality grew a little bigger last week when Republican Mayor Jerry Sanders of San Diego reversed his opposition to same-sex marriage and signed a resolution in support of gay marriage in California.
Choking back tears, Mayor Sanders — with his wife at his side — told a news conference that separate is not equal, after revealing his daughter is a lesbian.
"In the end, I could not look any of them in the face and tell them that their relationships, their very lives, were any less meaningful than the marriage that I share with my wife Rana," Sanders said.
Mayor Sanders announced his change of heart after San Diego’s City Council voted Tuesday 5-3 to back a lawsuit pending before the California Supreme Court, attempting to overturn the gay marriage ban. He said he had do what he believed was right, even if some of the voters disagree with him.
