There is a debate occurring within the marital equality rights community of whether an effort to overturn Proposition 8 should be executed in the November of 2010 or the November of 2012.

A summary of the battle at the San Francisco Chronicle:

Several California ACLU chapters have suggested waiting. So has the Alice B. Toklas Democratic Club in San Francisco, the oldest Democratic LGBT organization in the country, which said, “If we set the vote for 2010, we essentially need to net 1,000 voters per day, a theoretically achievable but extraordinarily ambitious goal.”

Marriage Equality USA found “no consensus” when it posed the question at 40 community gatherings across the state this summer. But what was clear, the organization’s report said, “is that many people are still trying to heal from the deep anger and sadness of having their civil rights stripped away” by last year’s vote.
