Governor Schwarzenegger has vowedto oppose conservative attempts to once again get an initiative on theballot to constitutionally ban gay marriage in California, reportsthe Sac Bee. In keeping with his previous vetos of such a ban, hestated, “Well, first of all, I think that it will never happen inCalifornia because I think that California people are much furtheralong on that issue, and number two, I will always be there to fightagainst that because it will never happen.”

On the other hand, as Calitics notes, Arnold was speaking in front of the Log Cabin Republicans,a gay Republican group.  The governor still has a long way to go beforeproving his credentials on the issue, as he’s also twice vetoed billsthat would legalize gay marriage.
