Supporters of a Proposition 8 repeal needed to gather the signatures of more than 694,000 registered voters by April 12th in order to qualify the measure for this year’s vote. Restore Equality 2010, the volunteer group that headed the effort, said it did not have enough signatures by the deadline, but did not reveal how many signatures it had gathered.

“Even the minority of Californians who voted against Prop. 8 have accepted that the majority rules and moved on to other issues,” commented Brian Brown, executive director of the National Organization for Marriage, which backs Proposition 8.

But Restore Equality 2010 chairman Sean Bohac has a different explanation for the shortfall in signatures. According to Bohac, the gay rights community was not unified in supporting the effort to get the Prop. 8 repeal on this year’s ballot. The larger groups wanted to wait for the 2012 presidential election.
