Less than two months before California voters decide whether to amend the state's constitution to ban same-sex marriages, former San Francisco Mayor and current U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein appears to be silent on Prop 8.

Her official Web site has no statements regarding the controversial ballot measure. By press time Wednesday, September 10 her press office had yet to respond to the Bay Area Reporter 's request for comment on Prop 8 from Feinstein.

Feinstein's relationship with the LGBT community has had rough patches over the past several years. In 2005, Feinstein, who's reportedly considering running for governor, received San Francisco Pride's Pink Brick award, which is bestowed upon groups and individuals who've run afoul of the community or pushed for antigay measures.

The award resulted from Feinstein's suggestion after Democratic U.S. Senator John Kerry lost his 2004 presidential bid that Mayor Gavin Newsom's decision to allow same-sex couples to marry that year had played a role in Kerry's defeat.

If she does run for governor, there is no way in hell I'll support her in the primary

1. I vote third party when she's up for re-election.

At first it was just because she's a warmongering pile of crap, but she keeps giving me more reasons not to give her even the tiniest shred of support.

Feinstein opposes Proposition 8
SACRAMENTO - Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, has come out against Proposition 8, the constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage.

In a statement released Friday afternoon, Feinstein said the issue was a matter of "equality and fairness."

"As a state, I believe we should uphold the ability of our friends, neighbors and co-workers who are gay and lesbian to enter into the contract of marriage," she said.

Voters will decide the issue in the November election.
