While I'm stoked that Governor Schwarzenegger publicly announced Friday that he will oppose a potential upcoming ballot measure that would ban same-sex marriage in California, it only exposes his hypocrisy in vetoing past California legislation that would make same-sex marriage legal - twice! Come on, dude! You can't play on both sides of the fence.

More, from the Bay Area Reporter:

The Republican governor told Log Cabin Republicans gathered at their national convention in San Diego that he was confident a ban would never pass in California and called the effort "a waste of time," according to the Associated Press.

The announcement was somewhat expected, as the gay GOP group's California chapter has been pressing the governor to publicly oppose the measure. Schwarzenegger has previously stated he personally supports gays and lesbians being afforded marriage rights but has twice vetoed a bill that would have made gay marriages legal, saying the issue should be left to either voters or the courts to decide.

The Log Cabin head went on to call Arnold a "great friend of gay and lesbian people." Um, dude... remember this?
