Reply to "Goin' To The Chapel: The Lesbian, Gay & T/S Marriage Topic"

From NY times today...

"Mr. Schwarzenegger said. 'In San Francisco it's a license for marriage of same sex... Maybe the next thing is another city that hands out licenses for assault weapons and someone else hands out licenses for selling drugs "” I mean, you can't do that. We have to stay within the law. There's a state law that says specific things, and if you want to challenge those laws, then you can go to the court.'

"If Mr. Schwarzenegger's perspective on the law was not popular... other comments he made about the marriage licenses on television also raised ire beyond here. The governor told Tim Russert, the host of Meet the Press, that when he was in San Francisco on Friday, 'all of a sudden we see riots and we see protests and we see people clashing. The next thing we know is there's injured or there's dead people.'

" 'The San Francisco police have reported no violence related to the same-sex marriage certificates,' said Hallye Jordan, a spokeswoman for Bill Lockyer, the California attorney general. She suggested that Mr. Schwarzenegger might have confused his visit to San Francisco with 'part of his next movie.'

" 'There is no public safety emergency, and we disagree with the governor's use of that type of rhetoric,' Ms. Jordan said."
