You’ve heard that Equality California and other same-sex marriage groups suggest waiting until 2012 to ask California voters to approve same sex marriage. But don’t sleep on seeing a ballot measure in 2010 just yet. As we speak, the 700,000-member Courage Campaign is pumping more than $200,000 into researching and focus-grouping possible ballot language around California. Leading this effort is Steve Hildebrand, the Obama confidante and gay rights advocate who told us a while back that he’s ready to go back to the ballot ASAP.
