Student-government leaders at a California community college will face a recall election after voting to favor a proposition on the state ballot this fall that would ban same-sex marriage, according to the Associated Press.

The members of American River College’s Student Government voted 8 to 3 on September 30 to support Proposition 8, which would amend the state Constitution to ban same-sex marriages. Those marriages were made legal in the Golden State by a California Supreme Court ruling in May.

Students at the Sacramento campus responded to the student government’s vote with rallies and petitions seeking to recall those who voted in favor of the measure. Now nine of the student government’s members will face a recall election, according to the AP.

“We elected them to represent the students and this definitely doesn’t represent the views of all of the students,” Shanell Gray, a 19-year-old geography major at American River College, told The Current, the student newspaper at Cosumnes River College, also in located in Sacramento.
