Two years after leading the unsuccessful campaign to defeat Proposition 8, California's ban on same-sex marriage, Geoff Kors is leaving the statewide LGBT advocacy group Equality California.

Kors, who has been EQCA's only executive director since the reorganization of the California Alliance for Pride and Equality in 1998, announced this morning (Friday, December 3) that he's resigning from the group, effective March 31. The date marks the eve of his ninth anniversary with the state's biggest LGBT rights organization.

"I felt I'm ready to do some different things," Kors, 49, told the Bay Area Reporter , adding that nine years is a "long tenure" for the leader of a political organization like EQCA. He has yet to decide where he'll go next and has not applied yet for any other jobs.
