i remeber reading an article by some gay dude a while back, he was outraged by the whole gay marriage thing. he said back in his day the gays were only thinking about wild sex parties, and today they were talking about settling down and getting married

If Arnie signs it, I wonder if Phelps will go after the GOVERNATOR

[Sava]

I'd pay to see that fight.

I guarantee that he will. This Phelps character is C R A Z Y... He makes Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell look like mild mannered moderates.

Arnie has to veto it. He's in the low 30s on approval rating, is getting beat by all the major potential Democrat candidates in current opinion polls, and has so alienated Dems and Independents that he has no hope of bringing them back into the fold. Hell, a recent poll had over 60% now saying they wouldn't recall Davis, if they had it to do all over again.

If he signed the bill, he'd get no credit for it and would then alienate the Republican right, which he desperately needs to hold on to if he wants any shot in 2006.

Looks like it will be Governor Angelides.

Ah, ochlocracy in action:

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said he would veto a bill to legalize same-sex marriage ``out of respect for the will of the people,'' drawing heated criticism from gay rights supporters and cheers from conservative groups.

The bill, narrowly passed by lawmakers in the past week, would make California the first state to legalize same-sex marriage through its legislature. In Massachusetts, recognition of gay marriages came through a court ruling.

But Schwarzenegger said Wednesday the legislation would conflict with the intent of voters when they approved an initiative five years ago that prevents California from recognizing same-sex marriages performed in other states or countries.

``We cannot have a system where the people vote and the Legislature derails that vote,'' the governor's press secretary, Margita Thompson, said in a statement.

Yes, because voters' intentions never change. And presumably, the 'people' don't include any gay and lesbian voters.


In any case, Ms. Thompson's statement would seem to indicate that she has never heard of the problems encountered by those seeking interracial marriages, and is indeed also ignorant of the history of Civil Rights' legislation in the United States.

Amnesia- the modern American ailment.
