CAL lawmakers send marriage bill to Governator

SF Chronicle says:
" A landmark bill to legalize gay marriage passed the Assembly
by a single vote Tuesday [Sept. 6]
and now goes to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger,
who has not said whether he will sign it.

and with two proposed anti-marriage amendments to the California state constitution.

[ Comment by SUN:
If the marriage bill becomes law,
then fundi-fascists could circulate a petition for a referendum on it,
thus putting the bill on the ballot for approval or disapproval by voters.
If this happens, Cal voters in 2006 might find THREE marriage-related propositions on their ballots
(one pro-marriage plus two anti-marriage).
This may confuse voters,
who may therefor vote NO on all three items. ]
