Schwarzenegger calls for same-sex weddings
2010-08-07
Brown is the Democratic nominee for governor on the November ballot and he previously called the ban unconstitutional.

Schwarzenegger has been more circumspect on his Proposition 8 position and his motion to immediately resume gay marriage was his boldest pronouncement on the issue.
Looks like the idea of being behind doesn't appeal to him.
"The administration believes the public interest is best served by permitting the court's judgment to go into effect, thereby restoring the right of same-sex couples to marry in California," lawyers for Schwarzenegger said in the legal filing. "Doing so is consistent with California's long history of treating all people and their relationships with equal dignity and respect."
... and occasionally forming vigilance councils to try and repair the damage...

#9  Ebbang, the difference is that Moonbeam has the political experience that he can actually get things done. That's probably a bad thing.

#8  I'd be okay with this if he actually meant it, but he's simply making yet another calculated statement. Back when he was running, he said it should be up to the voters to decide, and now he's taken the exact opposite position. Of course, I'm sure his first statement was as insincere as the last one.

In the end, there will be only chaos.

#4  California is broke. They are looking forward to "civil union" license fees as a source of revenue. It is the left coast.

#3  Part of the big problem with the iteration of feudal socialism we've implemented in this society is that noone is actually really _paid a unit of money for a unit of work_. Instead you get some money, plus about half of it in "benefits." Of course whose benefits are good and whose aren't, whether you can get an MRI or not, or your pension fund is backed up by the Feds or not... that's where the whole inequality before the law and in payment for work comes in, in ways it's difficult for a peon to prove. Marriage, and now Gay Marriage, is just another way to game the system now.

#1  "all people and their relationships with equal dignity"

Here comes polygamy - using the same specious reasoning, and destroying any semblance of meaning the word "marriage" has as anything other than a civil contract for tax and legal purposes.
