Gov. Schwarzenegger opposes remaining initiative on gay marriage ban
“I think we have bigger fish to fry than do people have a right, if they are gay, to get married or not…. I think that we should think about fixing the budget system and think about fixing the health care system and rebuilding California.”

I think that it was very clear that the people voted through Proposition 22 to be against [gay marriage], and I never wanted to turn over the will of the people. I always said it’s — them, they can turn it over, or the Supreme Court can turn it over. That’s exactly what happened today. So, we, kind of, respect their opinion. And, we will, you know, act accordingly.
