Proposition 22 (or the California Defense of Marriage Act) was a law enacted by California voters in 2000 to honor marriages only between opposite-sex couples.

It was authored by the state senator William "Pete" Knight and is known informally as the Knight initiative. Voters adopted the measure on March 7, 2000 with 61% in favour approval to 39% against.
