Governor Schwarzenegger Opposes Marriage Ban

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced he would oppose the ballot measure circulating across the state that would ban marriage for same-sex couples. At the Log Cabin Republicans National Convention in San Diego, the governor said he would always be there to fight against such an amendment.

Answering a question from Log Cabin Republicans Executive Director Patrick Sammon about the constitutional amendment, the governor said:

Well, first of all, I think that it would never happen in California because I think that California people are much further along with that issue. And, number two, I will always be there to fight against that. I think we need a constitutional amendment so that foreign-born citizens can run for president, but not (one) about gay marriage. That's a total waste of time.
