CA: Peace and Freedom Gubernatorial Candidate Backs Same-Sex Marriage Rights

At Afro Articles, Peace and Freedom Party candidate for governor of California Stewart Alexander makes the case for same-sex marriage rights:

In May 2009, the Los Angeles Times published an article entitled “Gay marriage a minefield for candidates for California governor;” however, Stewart Alexander, a candidate for California Governor, has taken a stand in the middle of that minefield and has thrust his campaign in the middle of the debate to achieve same-sex marriage rights.

In October, Stewart Alexander launched his campaign to become California's next governor calling for the legalization of same-sex marriages and the legalization of marijuana; these are two issues that most of the Republican candidates have consistently opposed and legalizing same-sex marriage has only been half heartedly embrace by some Democrats, to include California Attorney General Jerry Brown. The only two Democrats that championed same-sex marriage rights were San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa; both candidates backed out from the governor's race near the middle of 2009.
