The United Farm Workers Union has announced its support for a bill to allow same-sex couples in California to marry.

"This is about one civil rights movement joining forces with another to affirm shared values of social justice. Our struggles for economic justice and equality are rightfully linked: the farm workers current boycott of Gallo wine and the battle to achieve equality for all," said United Farm Workers Southern California Political Director Christine Chavez in a statement.

The announcement by the mainly Latino union dispels a widespread assumption in California that most Hispanics oppose same-sex marriage.
