Proposition 8 's Lessons for One Queer Journalist
In November 2008, California voters passed Proposition 8, taking away the right to marry from same-sex couples. But two years later, two same-sex couples sued the State of California in federal court. Prop 8 was eventually overturned. That landmark trial was videotaped, but the recordings were never released to the public. Until a few years ago, when KQED sued for access to the tapes and won. The U.S. Supreme Court allowed them to be unsealed in October 2022. KQED’s community engagement reporter Carlos Cabrera Lomeli, spent hours watching those tapes. As a queer journalist covering California’s gay marriage journey, Carlos says he learned a lot about himself in the process.
