February 19th, 2004 STATEMENT BY GOV. SCHWARZENEGGER ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGE LAWSUIT BY SAN FRANCISCO
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger released the following statement today:
"The people of California spoke on the issue of same-sex marriage when Prop. 22 was overwhelmingly passed in 2000. I will abide by the oath I took when I was sworn-in to uphold California's laws.
"The marriage certificates submitted to the Department of Health Services by the City and County of San Francisco fail to meet legal standards. The Attorney General has assured me that he will vigorously defend the constitutionality of the law in the case brought against the state by San Francisco."
