California Proposition 6, sponsored by John Briggs, a conservative state legislator from Orange County, and better known as the Briggs Initiative, was the first attempt to restrict the rights of lesbian and gay Americans by popular referendum. It was a ballot initiative put to a referendum on the California state ballot in the November 7, 1978 election.
