"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

One is called \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0000198/\">Tenofovir\u003c/a>, the other is called \u003ca href=\"http://www.hivandhepatitis.com/hiv_and_aids/emtriva.html#what\">FTC\u003c/a>. They’re bundled together in a single pill, taken once a day, and they’re part of a combination that many of our patients receive. A treatment regimen or somebody with infection would usually use these two drugs or ones like them plus a third drug to form the so called cocktail for HIV treatment that we’ve heard so much about.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/truvada2.mp3\">\u003cstrong>Volberding on what the African studies have shown\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/truvada2.mp3|titles=truvada2]\u003c/h2>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do the new studies show? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been several studies that have come at the same question. If a person is at risk of getting infected, does taking a medicine like Truvada prevent infection in somebody who’s not infected to start with?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before these two studies, there were two others, and one showed the medication did seem to work, the other didn’t. These two new studies answer an important question; they were done in couples, one of whom was positive at the start of the study, and one who was negative. The HIV-negative person took the medicine; these studies both showed a very striking effect in decreasing the transmission in those HIV-negative people who were taking the medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How definitive would say these studies were? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a meeting that I and many of my colleagues are going to in Rome that starts over the weekend that will be focused on these studies. I think we’ll come back with a lot more detail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But of these studies, one had nearly 5,000 couples, the other had about 1200 couples. Both were done in Africa. Both remarkably found almost the same results. In one, Truvada had about a 73% reduction in transmission, the other one had about a 63% reduction in transmission. In big studies like that, those numbers really look very much the same to us. It says that even in a situation where some people will take the drugs exactly as they’re supposed to in the study and others won’t, even with that the drug was remarkably effective. This is the kind of effect we might expect from a very good vaccine. So this is big news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the regimen for taking the drug in terms of it being a prophylactic? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a once a day drug, it’s a pill. The recommendation is that if you’re negative and in one of these relationship where your partner is positive, then you just take it every day. So it’s a very straightforward treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the side effects if any that were found? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We haven’t seen the detailed results from the study yet. We’ll hear a lot more about it in Rome. But we know these drugs very well. We’ve been using them for a very long time. In people with HIV infection, where Tenofavir, which is one of the parts of Truvada, it’s well tolerated but can cause some kidney trouble in a small percent of people and can cause some bone loss in a small percent of people. So we’ll be watching the results closely because these are people who are healthy and uninfected, so you don’t’ want to subject them to a lot of side effects. But we know these drugs very well, and I don’t expect we’re going to be surprised by what we hear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Might there be behavioral considerations in terms of health people following the drug regimen? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ll find out more in Rome, but what we’ve found in other studies, especially in people that are uninfected, is that some people decide just to not take the pills. What we’ve seen is that when people take the pills as prescribed, it works incredibly well. In some studies, it looked close to 100% effective. I think what we’ll find in these studies is that a big reason for the “only” 70% effectiveness, is probably a lot of those people weren’t taking the drugs or not taking them correctly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are there any other medications taken by healthy people as a prophylactic? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aspirin, perhaps, for people who want to prevent cardiac disease. Or the better example is when I go to Africa, I take a drug called Malerone, which is a malaria prophylaxis. So this isn’t a new concept at all.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/truvada3.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On behavioral considerations in patients\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/truvada3.mp3|titles=truvada3]\u003c/h2>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Potentially I could see some people arguing that some people at high risk for HIV might view a prophylactic pill as a license to engage in riskier behavior. Is that any sort of consideration?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh it’s absolutely a consideration. In this kind of research one of the things you always try to do is to determine whether or not behavior has changed as a result of being in the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we’ve seen before is that doesn’t usually seem to be the case. So I think the theoretical risk that someone is going to increase their behavior in a risky way doesn’t mean that the benefits should be denied to a larger number of people who if they take the medicine will keep from being infected. It’s worth asking, and we’ll look for the data, but I’m really not concerned about this issue.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/truvada4.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On populations that might be helped by use of the drug\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/truvada4.mp3|titles=truvada4]\u003c/h2>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Are the implications of this drug greater for Africa than in the U.S.?\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Yes. There are certainly people here who find themselves in situations where people can’t control their partner’s behavior. For example, a woman who’s engaged in sex work who can’t force her partner to use condoms might want to consider something like this to keep from getting infected. A gay man who for whatever reason is sexually active without the benefit of condoms might choose to use this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I think really the most obvious application would be in what are called \u003ca href=\"http://www.google.com/search?q=serodiscordant+&ie=utf-8\">serodiscordant \u003c/a>couples in Africa, where one person is infected and the other person would take this to prevent acquiring infection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are some other potential applications that are quite interesting. If a man, for example, is HIV-infected and his wife is uninfected, and they want to have kids, taking a drug like this on the part of the wife might be enough of a reassurance for them to have unprotected sex so she can get pregnant. So there are some interesting smaller populations but really important ones.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Today, the fear and loathing sowed by the virus has lifted considerably, due to advancements in HIV treatment that have thus far staved off its really deleterious effects for many years.

It’s worth asking, and we’ll look for the data, but I’m really not concerned about this issue.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/truvada4.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On populations that might be helped by use of the drug\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There are certainly people here who find themselves in situations where people can’t control their partner’s behavior.

Part of OSF’s insanely ambitious cycle of history plays, “American Revolutions,” this piece fuses the intimate and the epic with riveting results.

Why should George Moscone’s story be told, and why is that only a small piece of this story? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s actually the subtext of the entire play, the fact that he has been suppressed in the national consciousness, but also in the consciousness of the boy, the man, the son in the play. A lot of the play is about the fact that he’s repressed the kind of mourning that would keep his father alive for him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I think we as a country, we don’t mourn past a certain point. Back in the 1970s when this all happened, it turned pretty quickly into the 80s and Reagan, and the city of San Francisco grew exponentially; developed so fast and it changed its look and face forever. I think what started to submerge is the need for progressive politics, the definition of progressive politics as a necessary response to a status quo that had been running the country.

Because I thought he was going to be killed, and I used to freak out and not want him to leave the house. So I remember going to a therapist, and one time I brought my Etch A Sketch with me…no, it was a Spirograph, but that’s not an easy prop to get on and off stage and to act with. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The iconography of this child’s life in the ’70s was the Etch a Sketch, the OP shirt, the watching “Thunderbirds are Go: on TV. That was my childhood. If I were to do any story of a child, I would probably reference those things. The Etch a Sketch was also his way of connecting to a reality that existed before his father died. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca>\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone3.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On the main character’s self-hatred, and on his grandfather\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone3.mp3|titles=moscone3]\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>…The character of Jon uses Dan White’s gun, the .38 Smith & Wesson, to motivate him into killing off a part of himself that he hates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is that part? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a hundred things. One of them is his self-hatred as a gay man. His anger at losing his dad. The part of himself that’s protecting himself. There’s a line in the play where Jon admits he always thought it was his mother who was trying to protect herself from grieving so she could hold on to her husband. But he realizes he’s the one that’s been holding on. And the boy right from the beginning is not going to let go. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That seeps into the character, so that 33 years later, what the character has done is create a kind of a shell of a human being that has a lot of self- motivated anger and cynicism and bitterness and incapacity for intimacy, and all that is in the body of a self that needs to be killed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that is embodied theatrically by his grandfather, whom he doesn’t recognize as his grandfather, because — as in my story — he never met his grandfather. In fact none of us met my grandfather. He was excised from my parents life from when my father was very young. We never talked about him. All I know about him is that he was a prison guard at San Quentin. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it might be an apocryphal story about him — but bringing my dad to San Quentin was one of the instigating reasons for my dad’s very strong stand against capital punishment. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone4tombstone1.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On the privacy of pain and the issue of his father’s tombstone\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone4tombstone1.mp3|titles=moscone4tombstone]\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>What Tony’s done in the play a lot is taken stories that I told him and almost like a psychiatrist translate them into a dramatic idea. Tony asked me what the name of my grandfather is. I answered it, and he called me and said “you’re wrong.” I said “really? I had no idea.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s about owning your own. It’s so private, so private, and someone gets inside of your own privacy, which is so insinuating. But what else are you going to do when you’re not accessing him. Jon refuses to meet (the character of) Basil, so what else is Basil going to do? He ‘s going to spend hours online researching him and his father. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a site online called findagrave.com. For real. People can actually find a grave and read a grave site. It’s like people who slow down and watch accidents. Why are you watching other people’s pain? Why are you watching that happen? Why are you investigating it? It’s not yours. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I finally admitted today, as I was looking at the grave site in the play, that I used to be much like Jon’s character, kind of angry at my mother, thinking it was inappropriate that it was a small, regular tombstone in Colma. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I finally admitted that my mother was onto something. It was kind of a classy move on her part to not erect a statue like Eva Peron or something. It was just about the family. He’s got a parking garage and a convention center and a couple of delicatessens and a park named after him. And the place where he died is just about us losing him. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone5memory.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On his lack of knowledge about his father\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone5memory.mp3|titles=moscone5memory]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>There’s a certain jealousy of the character, toward others who perhaps know his father better.

And it’s not like that at all.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m not the smartest fellow in the world, but I had a really good instinct, that right when (Oregon Shakespeare Festival Artistic Director) Bill Rauch and I first thought of working on this, I knew I needed a colleague, one that was not going to be a subservient chronicler of my story. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only biopic I’ve ever liked was the movie \u003cem>I’m Not There\u003c/em>. Because it admits it can’t ever begin to capture Bob Dylan. Because it’s a lie and a fantasy. And I felt at the end that I knew Bob Dylan more than I knew Ray Charles in \u003cem>Ray\u003c/em>or Johnny Cash in \u003cem>Ring of Fire\u003c/em>. In \u003cem>Milk\u003c/em>, there’s as much fantasy in that movie as there is fact. And yet it’s called Milk. So why is that any truer?\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

And the boy right from the beginning is not going to let go. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That seeps into the character, so that 33 years later, what the character has done is create a kind of a shell of a human being that has a lot of self- motivated anger and cynicism and bitterness and incapacity for intimacy, and all that is in the body of a self that needs to be killed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that is embodied theatrically by his grandfather, whom he doesn’t recognize as his grandfather, because — as in my story — he never met his grandfather.

It would amend the state's education code, stating that LGBT people should be added to the state's list of underrepresented groups in history classes. At the same time it also spells out other guidelines for underrepresented groups. The bill says textbooks and instruction should specifically include contributions of Native Americans, African Americans, and Mexican Americans. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The LGBT component is the thing getting the most press. Is that because that is specifically called out in the bill or is it because it's more controversial?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More of the emphasis is on LGBT historical contributions. The other part of the bill is basically spelling out, \"let's not refer to African Americans in history as blacks or Native Americans as Indians.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California would be the first state in the country to allow public school kids to learn from curricula and textbooks that point out the contributions of gays and lesbians. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And it wouldn't just be allowed, it would be mandated. Is that correct? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's mandated, but it's a little tricky, because the bill says the state has to adopt textbooks and curricula that include LGBT contributions in our history, but it's up to school districts if they want to use them and how much. So ultimately, school districts will get to decide how they go about using these teaching materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the district officials I've spoken with say this would give them permission to talk about the topic. Even if they don't necessarily use the textbook, they have permission to talk about the ongoing gay rights movement, about people like Harvey Milk or Walt Whitman, for example.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>So currently, if a teacher does want to discuss LGBT topics in class, are they specifically disallowed or are they such hot-button issues that teachers don't want to go there?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They're such hot-button issues that people don't want to go there. I think it's really frowned upon; I think teachers feel they don't have the authority to talk about these issues. And we've seen cases in school districts where a teacher gets in trouble for talking about someone like Harvey Milk. If this bill becomes law, it give educators that freedom to discuss these things in class.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/lgbt2.mp3\">\u003cem>On the bill's supporters and opponents\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/lgbt2.mp3|titles=lgbt2]\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So who are the bill's main opponents at this point?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christian conservative groups and Republican lawmakers. They say this is a blatant attempt to promote what they call a homosexual agenda and to legislate morality. And they're saying they're not going to back down even if the bill does become law. So you still may see cases and issues come up, maybe even more so if teachers feel they have a little more freedom to talk about this topic in class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What was the breakdown in terms of the vote? Was it Republicans versus Democrats?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pretty much. You saw a lot of Democrats and openly gay lawmakers pushing this bill and applauding it, and conservative lawmakers really coming down on it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And this was Mark Leno's bill, right? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, and it was co-sponsored by \u003ca href=\"http://www.eqca.org/site/pp.asp?c=kuLRJ9MRKrH&b=5609559\">Equality California\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.gsanetwork.org/\">Gay-Straight Alliance Network\u003c/a>, both of which are based in San Francisco, so it very much has this Bay Area connection. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And what are the indications from Governor Brown as to whether he'll sign it or not?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hasn't said whether he supports it. If he doesn’t veto it within 12 days, it automatically becomes law. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even if it does become law, there's a five-year moratorium placed on adopting and purchasing any new textbooks, due to budget issues. That moratorium is in place until about 2015. So you wouldn't be seeing new adoption of textbooks for a number of years. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/lgbt3.mp3\">\u003cem>Explaining how teachers could implement the new curricula without new textbooks\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/lgbt3.mp3|titles=lgbt3]\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n\u003cstrong>What is the difference between textbooks and curricula?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Textbooks are the tool, and the standards are the lesson plans and how you go about teaching something. A lot of people use teaching and curriculum interchangeably. From the textbook you can develop lesson plans, and sometimes textbooks come with curricula that teachers can then use within the classroom or structure it in ways that they feel are best for students. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the state does pass the bill but has no money to buy textbooks, teachers could still develop their own lesson plans that tie into what they want to get across in this particular area.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Also, KQED Radio's Forum program today featured a discussion of the bill. That show, which included San Francisco assemblymember Tom Ammiano, will be \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201107080900\">archived here\u003c/a> later today.

It would amend the state's education code, stating that LGBT people should be added to the state's list of underrepresented groups in history classes. At the same time it also spells out other guidelines for underrepresented groups. The bill says textbooks and instruction should specifically include contributions of Native Americans, African Americans, and Mexican Americans. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The LGBT component is the thing getting the most press. Is that because that is specifically called out in the bill or is it because it's more controversial?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More of the emphasis is on LGBT historical contributions. The other part of the bill is basically spelling out, \"let's not refer to African Americans in history as blacks or Native Americans as Indians.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California would be the first state in the country to allow public school kids to learn from curricula and textbooks that point out the contributions of gays and lesbians. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And it wouldn't just be allowed, it would be mandated. Is that correct? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's mandated, but it's a little tricky, because the bill says the state has to adopt textbooks and curricula that include LGBT contributions in our history, but it's up to school districts if they want to use them and how much. So ultimately, school districts will get to decide how they go about using these teaching materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the district officials I've spoken with say this would give them permission to talk about the topic. Even if they don't necessarily use the textbook, they have permission to talk about the ongoing gay rights movement, about people like Harvey Milk or Walt Whitman, for example.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>So currently, if a teacher does want to discuss LGBT topics in class, are they specifically disallowed or are they such hot-button issues that teachers don't want to go there?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They're such hot-button issues that people don't want to go there. I think it's really frowned upon; I think teachers feel they don't have the authority to talk about these issues. And we've seen cases in school districts where a teacher gets in trouble for talking about someone like Harvey Milk. If this bill becomes law, it give educators that freedom to discuss these things in class.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/lgbt2.mp3\">\u003cem>On the bill's supporters and opponents\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They say this is a blatant attempt to promote what they call a homosexual agenda and to legislate morality. And they're saying they're not going to back down even if the bill does become law. So you still may see cases and issues come up, maybe even more so if teachers feel they have a little more freedom to talk about this topic in class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What was the breakdown in terms of the vote? Was it Republicans versus Democrats?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pretty much. You saw a lot of Democrats and openly gay lawmakers pushing this bill and applauding it, and conservative lawmakers really coming down on it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And this was Mark Leno's bill, right? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, and it was co-sponsored by \u003ca href=\"http://www.eqca.org/site/pp.asp?c=kuLRJ9MRKrH&b=5609559\">Equality California\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.gsanetwork.org/\">Gay-Straight Alliance Network\u003c/a>, both of which are based in San Francisco, so it very much has this Bay Area connection. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And what are the indications from Governor Brown as to whether he'll sign it or not?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hasn't said whether he supports it. If he doesn’t veto it within 12 days, it automatically becomes law. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even if it does become law, there's a five-year moratorium placed on adopting and purchasing any new textbooks, due to budget issues. That moratorium is in place until about 2015.

While supporters of same sex marriage have won important legal victories, including the recent rejection of a motion to strike down Vaughn Walker's Prop. 8 decision, the issue is in some ways on the slow track.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/content/view.php?pk_id=0000000513\">appeal\u003c/a> of Walker's decision is stalled at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/content/view.php?pk_id=0000000513\">9th Circuit\u003c/a>, which awaits legal advice from the \u003ca href=\"http://appellatecases.courtinfo.ca.gov/search/case/mainCaseScreen.cfm?dist=0&doc_id=1966489&doc_no=S189476\">California Supreme Court\u003c/a> on whether Prop. 8 backers have legal standing to appeal Judge Walker's decision. A date for oral arguments has not been set. It was thought to happen in September, but until a 7th justice is appointed by Governor Brown to replace retired justice Carlos Moreno my guess is the court will be reluctant to schedule it. Otherwise there's a risk that a random Appeals Court judge will sit in as the 7th justice and take part in the decision -- not a good scenario for the new Chief Justice. \u003c!--more--> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the politics, insiders say it's highly unlikely gay marriage will be back on the ballot in California before Prop 8 plays out in court. That could be 2012 or 13 ... meaning the 2014 ballot at the earliest. Reason: Who wants to fund a ballot measure that could lose and undermine what is so far a successful legal challenge in federal court?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
