California OKs Same-Sex Marriages
By Phillip Martin
In case you've missed it, the California legislature has OK'ed same-sex marriages. Whether or not the Governator will sign the bill remains to be seen. Apparently, he wants to let the voters decide, but as the article mentions, they decided once five years ago...
But opponents repeatedly cited the public's vote five years ago to approve Proposition 22, which prohibits California from recognizing same-sex marriages performed in other states or countries.
What are people saying about the new law? There's those on the left...
"As the debate today shows, love conquers fear, principle conquers politics and equality conquers injustice, and the governor can now secure his legacy as a true leader by signing this bill."
...and those on the right:
"Schwarzenegger can't afford to sign the gay marriage license bill...He'll actually become a hero to the majority of Californians when he vetoes it."
So what will the Governor do? Well, according to an article posted on Fox News, what he does may not matter, as around 56% of the people want him out of office anyway.
My take on it? I still can't believe the Kindergarten Cop is a Governor.

It is an odd paradox that while families in California may all finally be realized as equal, here in Texas we are being asked to rubber stamp writing hate into our Constitutions Bill of Rights.
I encourage everyone to vote AGAINST Constitutinal Amendment Number #2 on November 8th!
Let's also not overlook Arnold's bizarre comment that this is a matter for the courts. Arnold is certainly blazing all sorts of new trails for excuses for political cowardice. The nerve of those, uh, elected legislators for attempting to legislate from the legislature.
