A volunteer for the Joe Alioto\u00c2\u00a0 for District 3 Supervisor campaign was today discovered promoting a ‘yes’ vote on proposition 8, a measure on Tuesday’s ballot that seeks to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry in California.<\/p>\n

While waving a Joe Alioto Jr. campaign sign outside San Francisco City Hall, the volunteer called out to passers by to vote for Joe Alioto and to vote ‘yes’ on proposition 8.<\/p>\n

Supervisor Chris Daly, who heard the campaign chant, asked the volunteer why he supports proposition 8.<\/p>\n

“I walked by, you said ‘Joe Alioto – Yes on 8.’ Why?” Daly asked.<\/p>\n

“It’s a free country,” the volunteer responded.<\/p>\n

Reached for comment about his position on proposition 8 and same-sex marriage, Joe Alioto told Fog City Journal:\u00c2\u00a0 “I have supported gay marriage from the beginning and I oppose proposition 8.”<\/p>\n

Alioto said he does not know of anyone on his campaign who supports proposition 8 and suggested the volunteer is working for the David Chiu campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
