Meanwhile, the statewide LGBT lobbying group Equality California has been warning that if Prop 8 supporter Meg Whitman is elected governor, she will order the new Attorney General to try to intervene in the federal Prop 8 case, now before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Additionally, while current AG Jerry Brown believes Prop 8 is unconstitutional and has refused to defend it in court, the man seeking to replace him as Attorney General, moderate Republican Los Angeles District Attorney Steve Cooley, says he will uphold the laws of California, which includes defending Prop 8.

With the election now about six weeks away, EQCA is shining the spotlight more brightly on this possibility. On Wednesday, EQCA released two TV ads that will begin airing on Monday, Sept. 27, on the CNN, FOX and MSNBC affiliates in the Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego and Palm Springs metropolitan areas. The ads were produced by (CORRECTED) EQCA with a voice over artist, LGBT activist and EQCA board member Ben Patrick Johnson.
