Effort To Overturn California’s LGBT Education Act May Fail | Despite support from groups like the Family Research Council, Traditional Values Coalition, and National Organization for Marriage, it seems that the effort to overturn California’s FAIR Education Act by referendum has failed. The new law requires schools to include the contributions of LGBT people in curricula. The “Stop SB 48″ coalition has until tomorrow to collect the over 500,000 signatures necessary to challenge the law at the ballot, but Joe.My.God just reported that the anti-gay groups have conceded, saying they “would need a miracle to qualify this referendum.”
