California
The California Log Cabin Republicans supported Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger during his term. Although he vetoed a controversial bill in 2005 that would allow same-sex marriage (which would have been the first such legislatively enacted law in the US), he has signed 21 other LGBT progressive bills into law. In fact, according to official records, the Log Cabin Republicans PAC raised $10,000 for "Californians for Schwarzenegger" in 2006.
In late February, 2008, gay and lesbian activists led by Log Cabin Republican leaders lobbied Governor Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver to publicly oppose the Family Research Council's Anti-Gay Marriage initiative.
