Same-sex marriage in California

[erilyn]

I haven't seen this mentioned on my friendslist, the California Legislature became the first legislative body in the US to allow same-sex marriages.

Will it become law? Is it likely that Schwarzenegger will refuse to sign it, and what happens then?

Congrats to California if it does pass!

I was just reading an article about the CA legislation (which the governor is going to veto, sadly), and there was this bit which clarifies the situation.

The vote made the Assembly the first legislative body in the nation to approve same-sex marriage. Gay-marriage licenses in Massachusetts and civil unions in Vermont were granted through court rulings.

I thought they didn't call them marriages in Vermont, but I was wrong about the term, they call it civil unions.
