California Governor Schwarzenegger applauds lifting of ban against same-sex marriage
August 13th, 2010 - 3:54 am ICT by BNO NewsSACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA (BNO NEWS) — California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday applauded U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker’s decision to lift his stay on same-sex marriages following his ruling invalidating Proposition 8.
“I am pleased to see Judge Walker lift his stay and provide all Californians the liberties I believe everyone deserves. Today’s ruling continues to place California at the forefront in providing freedom and equality for all people,” Schwarzenegger said.
Last week, Judge Walker ruled Proposition 8 as unconstitutional, but with Schwarzenegger and Attorney General Jerry Brown agreeing with the legalization of same-sex marriages, Vaughn decided to lift the ban, holding it until August 18. The appeals court will be reviewing the matter.
