California, Gays, Marriage

And in other news, the California legislature has redefined marriage to be between two persons. Governor Schwarzenegger has to sign the bill for it to take effect. I hope he doesn't. But at least the process is right - no judge's fiat, no official ignoring the law.

UPDATE: Governor Schwarzenegger has said he will veto the bill because it conflicts with an initiative passed in 2000 that prevents California from recognizing same sex marriages performed in other states. I suppose the Governor is sensitive to such initiatives since they have formed the backbone of his programs in California. It could also just be cover for a political decision that he would like to avoid.
