Leno called on the state's political leaders to "rise up out of the shadows of inequality and be counted on this important civil rights issue by using their powers to put an end to discrimination against all people."

Opponents, though, said it was illegal for the Legislature to repeal a vote of the people, though the 2000 measure, Proposition 22, more specifically dealt with not allowing California to recognize gay marriages sanctioned by other states.
