Schwarzenegger to veto same-sex marriage bill

According to a CNN.com (AP) story, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will veto the bill recently passed in the California senate. The bill would have overridden Prop 22 which was passed 5 years ago by voters that said that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California. Many gay rights advocates say that just getting the bill passed in the senate was a victory and this is just one setback. Massachusetts is the only state that recognizes same-sex marriages, mandated by a court order in that state.
