Schwarzenegger Vetoes Gay Marriage Bill

September 29,2005 | SACRAMENTO, Calif, -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger followed through Thursday on his promise to veto a bill to legalize same-sex marriage in California, saying the issue should be decided by voters or the courts.

"This bill simply adds confusion to a constitutional issue," the Republican governor said in a veto message.

Schwarzenegger had announced his intention on Sept. 7, a day after the Legislature became the first in the country to approve a bill allowing gays and lesbians to wed.

Schwarzenegger said the bill by Democrat Mark Leno, an openly gay assemblyman from San Francisco, contradicted Proposition 22, which was approved by voters in 2000 and said only marriages between a man and woman are valid.

"If the ban of same-sex marriage is unconstitutional this bill is not necessary," he said. "If the ban is constitutional this bill is ineffective."

1. So much for civil rights

Look, I know Prop 22 passed but that doesn't make it right. Minority rights are supposed to be protected from the tyranny of the majority. This is just so wrong! It makes me so angry

5. Got rid of his movies I had except one...

when I found out he was going to veto this. I couldn't get rid of 'Running Man'. Director's commentary is too good.
