CALIFORNIA: Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a bill recognising gay marriages sanctioned in other states during the nearly five months such unions were legal in California.
California Governor Signs Bill On Gay MarriageSchwarzenegger said the action is consistent with a state Supreme Court ruling upholding the marriages of same-sex couples who tied the knot in California before voters approved Proposition 8.

Proposition 8 is a state constitutional amendment passed in November that limits marriage to a man and a woman.

The bill signed by the governor late on Sunday also said gay and lesbian couples who were married in other states after Proposition 8′s passage have the same rights and benefits that California grants domestic partners.
