Same Sex Marriage Bill Passes in California Legislature
by Last Night in Little Rock
The California legislature today adopted a same sex marriage bill, making California the first state to adopt legislation authorizing gay marriage.
The legislation could be vetoed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has expressed an acceptance of gay marriages but said it's an issue that should be decided by voters or the courts.
"He will uphold whatever the court decides," spokeswoman Margita Thompson said Tuesday after the state Assembly approved the same-sex marriage measure, 41-35. The Senate had approved it last week.
Update (TL): Gov. Arnold now says he will veto the bill.
