Schwarzenegger Shifts Gay Marriage Stand

(04-11) 15:06 PDT SAN DIEGO (AP) --

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says that if an initiative to ban gay marriage qualifies for the November ballot, he's prepared to fight it.

California's governor spoke Friday in San Diego at the convention of the Log Cabin Republicans, the nation's largest gay Republican group.

He has previously vetoed bills that would have legalized gay marriage. A Schwarzenegger spokeswoman did not say what prompted the governor to shift his position.

2. Keep hanging with those Kennedy folks, Ah-nold.

Someday, maybe you'll be turned.

3. I'm happy to hear that.

I really think he has been disgusted with much of what the Republican party has done lately.

4. good but prop 22 has to be repealed too.

Prop 22 was passed n 2000 & is a large part of why der gropenfuerer has vetoed past bills. Remember my home state is not nearly as progressive as SF, LA etc.

5. He no longer believes that gay marriage should be "between a man and a woman"?
