The issue is gay MARRIAGE. I believe Arnold is against gay marriage but not against gay unions. Which would give the same rights as gay marriage, it just wouldn't be called marriage, quite frankly, the fight is over a word. We want marriage, not unions.
The problem is, the gay marriage fight is less political and more religious. Marriage is actually considered a religious practice and a religious act, so we're fighting a religious issue from a political stand point, that's where a lot of the issues lie and why states like California where most people thought the bill would pass, hasn't yet.
I know quite a few people that don't have any problem with gay people BUT believe marriage IS between a man and woman as that is how it is defined in the bible. It's unfortunate but that's how it is
