Republican lawmakers are urging Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to defend California’s gay marriage ban, Proposition 8. Twenty-seven members of the Assembly’s Republican caucus wrote to Schwarzenegger asking the governor to appeal a federal ruling that struck down Proposition 8 as unconstitutional.
Schwarzenegger, a Republican, and Attorney General Jerry Brown, a Democrat who is running for governor, refused to defend the law and have said they would not file an appeal.
“It does not matter whether we, the Attorney General, or you supported or opposed Proposition 8, or whether we believe it should or should not be the law of California,” the lawmakers wrote. “The people of the state of California themselves decided this issue on November 4, 2008.”
