Arnold Says No to Gay Marriage

California�s gay and lesbian community is reacting with fury to Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger�s announcement late Wednesday afternoon that he plans to veto legislation, headed for his desk, which would have legalized same-sex marriage in the nation�s largest state.
Schwarzenegger made his intentions known barely 24 hours after the state�s Assembly passed the bill, initiated by San Francisco Democratic Assemblyman Mark Leno, a gay man, which would have made California the first state in America to enact gay marriage without a court order.
The Senate had passed the bill last week, and it was just Schwarzenegger�s signature away from becoming law.
Activists are already planning protests.
