Arnold Schwarzenegger says he performed two same-sex weddings in his office while California governor but denies he supports gay marriage
Hollywood action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger has revealed he married two gay couples while he was governor of California.
The Terminator star told CBS News last night (30 September) that he married his former chief of staff Susan Kennedy, who he once dubbed a ’cigar smoking lesbian’.
’I performed the wedding in the office,’ the Austrian hard-man revealed to interviewer Lesley Stahl after she asked whether he went to Kennedy’s wedding.
’I married her in the office, in the governor’s office.’
However, while also admitting to performing a second same-sex wedding for an assistant in the governor’s office, the actor refused to go so far as openly backing gay marriage.
He said: ’I’m for that she gets the kind of wedding and the kind of ceremony that I had when I got married with Maria [Shriver].
’That she happens to love a woman, and I am a guy that loves a woman, that is two different things. It doesn’t make any difference. She should still have her ceremony.’
Dsepite being a Republican, Schwarzenegger says he has not yet decided whether to vote for his party’s presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, or pro-gay marriage Democrat Barack Obama.
However, he added: ’I believe in “love it or change it” rather than “love it or leave it.” I never will leave the Republican.’
Schwarzenegger is currently promoting his memoir Total Recall.
