One final note: SaveCalifornia.com is not merely another website of a few crazed homophobes. They have publicly, politically and vocally opposed Proposition 8 every step of the way, and now the matter sits on the steps of the US Supreme Court. Their collective political activism impinges upon the lives of millions of Americans as has been thoroughly documented by multiple reliable sources. – MrX 16:24, 27 September 2012 (UTC); 16:38, 27 September 2012 (UTC); 20:26, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi 72Dino! I noticed you reverted "landmark case" back to "case" here. The source citation says "Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker's strongly worded opinion in the landmark case — the first in a federal court to examine if states can lawfully limit marriage to a man and a woman..." Could you please elaborate on the reversion? Much thanks, AzureCitizen ( talk) 21:10, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Obviously he said it, but this citation seems... Spurious. There's no evidence the linked site actually has evidence for its claims or is a good source as per wikipedia rules... 174.62.69.11 ( talk) 19:31, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
The organization also led opposition against Harvey Milk Day, referring to Milk as a "sexual predator",[17] citing the Randy Shilts book, The Mayor of Castro Street: The Life and Times of Harvey Milk.[18]
