SACRAMENTO—Sacramento mayoral candidate Kevin Johnson upset local gay and lesbian leaders after saying he believes marriage is between a man and a woman. The former NBA star made the statement in response to a question during a candidate debate this week.
Gretchen Bender, vice president of the Sacramento County Board of Education, says Johnson's statement shows that he is not ready to lead the city.
Bender and a half-dozen other gay and lesbian leaders held a news conference to express their concern about the former Phoenix Suns star.
