All of these bills are identified on the website of Equality California, a well funded California’s LGBT civil rights and advocacy organization, who has sponsored much of the legislation. The status of each bill was taken from their website.
PING! FYI
We recognize that the two-parent family provides the best environment of stability, discipline, charity and responsibility. We commend and support those single parents who struggle to maintain stable homes for their families. We resist the efforts of the liberals in the Democrat Party to redefine the traditional family. We offer the Republican Party as an option to all who are concerned about the deterioration of the American family.Recognizing the traditional model of monogamous heterosexual marriage as the only stable relationship upon which to build a society, we believe that homosexuality should not be presented as an acceptable "alternative" lifestyle in public education and policy. We oppose granting to homosexuals special privileges, including marriage, domestic partnership benefits, and child custody or adoption.

"No Republican governor in California history has promoted transsexuality, bisexuality and homosexuality like Arnold Schwarzenegger has. In the last three years, Schwarzenegger has delighted homosexual activists by signing most of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) bills that the Democrat-controlled Legislature has placed on his desk. "
--Randy Thomasson, President, Campaign for Children and Families [Source]"Since taking office in 2003, has signed two dozen bills in support of rights for the gay and lesbian communities." [Source]
"The attempt to pass gay marriage was a cynical attempt to embarrass a governor who, up until that point, had been recognized by Equality California and the Human Rights Campaign as the most gay-friendly governor in history."
--Ralph Denney, Log Cabin Candidate for California Assembly (San Diego-AD 76), [Source]
Legislation Vetoed in by Governor Schwarzenegger in 2005
• AB 849 - The Religious Freedom & Civil Marriage Protection Act [Vetoed 09/29/05]
Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) and Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez (D- Los Angeles)
Existing law provides that marriage is a personal relation arising out of a civil contract between a man and a woman (Prop 22 - Family Code). This bill would instead provide that marriage is a personal relation arising out of a civil contract between 2 persons. (formerly known as AB 19)
• AB 866 - Code of Fair Campaign Practices [Vetoed 09/07/05]
Speaker Pro Tem Leland Yee (D-San Francisco/Daly City)
This bill would add to the pledge contained in the Code of Fair Campaign Practices that the candidate will not use or permit any appeal to negative prejudice based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
When the Mexicans take over California you're not going to see any more of this nonsense.

Thanks for the ping, calcowgirl. Looks like the straights in California really have their work cut out for them. The next thing you know, the legislature will be trying to pass laws like these to protect pedophiles and murderers.
The Dems will slave for a vote from every pervert and criminal they can muster -- this is just more of the same.
The devil has a huge foothold in this world now. It is falling fast. A great wrath is sure to come.
Kinda reminds me of the time when these two gays were down at the doc in Alemeda. The one commented on the next arriving "Ferry boat!" The other one said in his best effeminent voice... "Gee, I knew we were organized, but I had no idea we already had a Navy!!!"
The following GLBT related legislation is currently in process in the California Legislature. While some of these bills sound generic in nature, all are being supported by major GLBT activist organizations in California as advancing homosexual rights.
"Homosexual Rights" = rights premised in a practiced disordered activity rejected by society and not Constitutionally guaranteed...
In essence, GLBT activist organizations are attempting to get government to sanction and subsidize disordered activity rejected by society and not Constitutionally guaranteed...
Often in the news one hears about the supposed wall of separation between Church (Constitutionally guaranteed practice) & State... WELL --what about the separation between Homosexual Sex (not Constitutionally guaranteed practice rejected by society) & State?
So basically, unless it is celebration of homosexual activity, it is not tolerance. In other words, it will be illegal in California schools and elsewhere to believe homosexual activity is immoral or sinful.
What amazes me most when looking at this list of bills is that with California having such a huge structural deficit the legislature has the nerve to take the time and effort away from basic fiscal management.
ping for later
