WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says he supports aid for the auto industry and will not personally fight the state's voter-approved a gay marriage ban.
In an appearance on ABC's "This Week" program, the Republican governor said Sunday that President-elect Barack Obama and congressional Democrats are right to back a federal loan of up to $25 billion to the nation's automotive industry.
"I think it's very important to not just put money in, but let's go and see if they have been fiscally responsible, and if they're really operating the right way. Because right now, all of those -- you know, if you pay the auto workers or the benefits and all of those things, are maybe too high," Schwarzenegger said.
On the state's recent gay marriage ban, the governor said he believes the state Supreme Court was right to say the state's previous ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional.
"So the Supreme Court, you know, I think ought to go and look at that again. And we'll go back to the same decision ... . I think that they will. And I think that the important thing now is to resolve this issue in that way," he said.
He added, "For me, marriage is between a man and a woman. But I don't want to ever force my will on anyone."
