Maybe those first KFI reports are misleading. It looks like maybe he will back up Prop 22. This seems to imply he will veto it and sit back and watch the court action relative to the constitutionality of Prop 22. Still, phone calls can't hurt.

LA Times (via KTLA.com)

The bill, which would change California's legal definition of marriage from "a civil contract between a man and a woman" to a "civil contract between two persons," now goes to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. He has signaled that he will veto it.

After the vote, Schwarzenegger spokeswoman Margita Thompson said: "The people spoke when they passed Proposition 22. The issue subsequently went to the courts. The governor believes the courts are the correct venue for this decision to be made. He will uphold whatever decision the court renders."

I usually take the libertarian approach on gay marriage. Frankly, the whole issues bores me. But I do find the wording of the bill amusing. If California changes marriage to be between two persons, does this mean that corporations (which are 'persons' under the law) can be married?
