San Jose Mayor Reed says he’s against gay marriage in California
”I don’t support changing the definition of marriage,” Reed said, “but whether this is the appropriate ballot measure, we’ll have to wait until it goes on… I support the extension of benefits, and I supported the exension of protections from discrimination for same-sex couples and I’ll continue to do that — but I don’t support changing the definition of of marriage.”
