No matter which man becomes the party's candidate in June, for LGBT voters it one of the rare times they do not have to make a "lesser of the two evils" choice, such as the last presidential election. Senator John Kerry's (D-Massachusetts) stance on gay marriage varied little from President Bush's views.

"Our community is enormously fortunate because the choices before us need not be determined by commitment to LGBT civil rights," said Leno, who noted that Westly "has been very firm and steadfast in support" of his bill.

He said his main reason for wanting to unseat Schwarzenegger is so he can "put the state of California back on the side of the people, whether it is gay couples or the kid who wants to go to college. I will take us in a very different direction."
