Schwarzenegger Vetoes Gay Marriage Again
Schwarzenegger Vetoes Gay Marriage Again

SACRAMENTO (AP) -- Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has vetoed another gay marriage bill, saying voters and the state Supreme Court, not lawmakers, should decide the issue.

The Republican governor turned down a measure that would have defined marriage as a union between two people, not just a man and a woman. He vetoed a similar bill in 2005 and has said he would veto all such bills.

The California Supreme Court is likely to rule next year on whether the state's voter-approved ban on gay marriage violates the constitution.

Schwarzenegger said in his veto message that Californians "should not be discriminated against based upon their sexual orientation." He said he supports state laws that give domestic partners many of the rights and responsibilities of marriage.

4. Has groping become an officially recognized institution of commitment?
Maybe he's moving his efforts in that direction.
