Inland gay-rights supporters are meeting Saturday to plan strategy for a proposed 2010 ballot measure that would overturn Prop. 8, the 2008 voter initiative that banned same-sex marriage.

Gay-marriage proponents, led by Los Angeles-based Love Honor Cherish, submitted ballot proposals Sept. 24 to legalize same-sex matrimonies. They need nearly 700,000 valid signatures by April.

The state's largest gay-rights group, Equality California, wants to wait until 2012 for an initiative, arguing that more time is needed to go door-to-door to change Prop. 8 supporters' minds on the issue. They fear possible defeat in 2010.
