Schwarzenegger wants marriage equality ... now

The AP reports that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said he wants the state to begin handing out marriage licenses immediately. State Attorney General Jerry Brown agrees. Both politicians agree with a federal judge's ruling that struck down the state's gay marriage ban. The judge will now decide whether to allow same-sex marriages to proceed.

Schwarzenegger, who twice vetoed legislation that would have legalized same-sex marriage, has surprised gay rights supporters by urging a federal judge to allow gay couples to resume marrying in the state without further delay.
