And a note from his gay son, from October 1999:

Republican California state Senator Pete Knight was criticized Thursday by his gay son, who called his father's sponsorship of a ballot initiative banning gay marriage in California, `blind" and "uncaring." The opinion piece was published in the Los Angeles Times.

"I believe, based on my experience, that his is a blind, uncaring, uninformed, knee jerk reaction to a subject about which he knows nothing and wants to know nothing, but which serves his political career," wrote David Knight, who currently resides in Baltimore.

David Knight said his father's defense of family values was curious, given that their relationship ended when he came out to his father. "Three years ago, I told my father I was gay and that I have a life partner, Joe. From that moment on, my relationship with my father was over." he writes. "I can't begin to explain the hurt that has come from this rejection."
