| Description | Under intense pressure from the religious right, GOP candidate for governor Bill Simon on Tuesday dropped his backing for a Gay Pride Day and softened his support for several other gay rights issues.
Simon's reversal came a week after the Los Angeles businessman backed the idea of a statewide Gay Pride Day, said he would not challenge current laws on gay adoption and supported domestic partnership laws as long as they weren't based on sexual orientation. |
