Anti-gay-marriage backlash in San Jose
Incensed by the city of San Jose, California's decision to recognize same-sex marriages, a group of evangelical Christians has hired a well-regarded Sacramento consultant to explore a recall effort or ballot initiative to overturn the action. "The repercussions are going to be different here than in San Francisco," said Bill Buchholz, pastor of the Family Community Church. "People make jokes about San Francisco. We don't want them making jokes about San Jose." Apparently he doesn't know people make jokes about San Jose all the time. Mayor Ron Gonzales predicts a ballot measure would be divisive for the city and its churches. We think he's right.
