CA: Marriage Bill Is On Guv's Desk

WWAD? (What Will Arnold Do?) The Religious Freedom and Civil Marriage Protection Act which would legalize marriage by same-sex couples in the state of California is now sitting on Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's desk, awaiting his previously announced veto.

Apparently the meeting with Equality California and the Governor's office did not go well, since no public commitments on other pending legislation or the discriminatory anti-gay ballot measures were released.

BoifromTroy and others are claiming that EQCA is endangering other pro-gay legislation which the Governor will be considering soon. The question the strategy of putting pressure on the Governor by airing a television ad which compares his to notorious racist and civil rights foe George Wallace. However, as I have said, it's a more complicated issue than "EQCA did the wrong thing and Log Cabin did the right thing."
