Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vowed Friday to oppose a new initiative that would ban gay marriage, calling any such effort "a total waste of time."
The Republican governor has twice vetoed bills to allow same sex marriage. But in front of about 170 people at the Log Cabin Republicans national convention in San Diego, he announced his opposition to a proposed constitutional amendment that would strengthen the state's ban.
"Well, first of all, I think that it will never happen in California because I think that California people are much further along on that issue, and number two, I will always be there to fight against that because it will never happen," Schwarzenegger said, according to an audio recording.
"I think we need a constitutional amendment so that foreign-born citizens can run for president, but not about gay marriage," he added. "That's a total waste of time."
