i'm confused because i didn't pay attention in history/social studies/school house rock when they told us how laws are made. so it's legal but it's not officially a law yet? or something? eesh, i'm going to stop before i lower your intelligence.
I think what needs to happen now is for Arnold to not veto the bill (which may or may not happen--the article says he hasn't made a public statement about gay marriage before, but considering he's a Republican and needs the Republican votes... :\), and then be voted on in referendum, and if that goes through then I think it'll become official. My friend said that the same thing happened in New York last year, but I'm not sure if it's actually the same scenario considering the article is all "this is the first state to do this blah blah"? (And it being the New York Times, I would think they would mention if the same thing did in fact happen there. 9_9) Shrug!
"I think what needs to happen now is for Arnold to not veto the bill (which may or may not happen--the article says he hasn't made a public statement about gay marriage before ..."
This reminded me of a quote a friend left at the end of one of his LJ entries recently:
"I think that gay marriage should be between a man and a woman."
- Arnold Schwarzenegger (Austrian douchebag, 1947 AD - .)
Oh Arnold. :D
But yeah, it would be a little surprising if he strayed from the party line here. Still, it's a great step forward. Go California! Be awesome! <3
I'm so sick of hearing the "but the childrens will be fucked up" argument. I’m also sick of hearing about how marriage is an ancient institution that should be upheld and humans as a race will die off if this is passed. These arguments are completely ridiculous. The world has billions of people, if we slow down a bit, its not going to hurt anyone. Also, marriage as a sacred institution? In many places it started out as ‘how much for your daughter’ thank you very much.
I'm of the opinion that marriage shouldn't even BE an issue that the GOVERNMENT deals with--they can handle all the economic stuff that goes with marriage and civil unions and crap, but it shouldn't be their say on whether or not so-and-so can wed. So at least if this passes, it'll be a step up. ¬_¬
