Virginia works toward ban of gay marriage
By wire services
Published February 27, 2005
RICHMOND, Va. - A proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in Virginia easily won final approval Saturday by both chambers of the General Assembly.
The measure would have to be approved again by the Legislature next year and ratified by voters in the 2006 general election before it would become part of the Virginia Constitution.
Seventeen states have adopted constitutional gay-marriage bans, with 11 of them ratifying the measures in elections last fall.
Schwarzenegger has "no regrets' about steroid use
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has acknowledged using steroids during his years as a champion body builder, said he doesn't regret using performance-enhancing drugs.
In an interview to be broadcast Sunday, Schwarzenegger told ABC's George Stephanopoulos, "I have no regrets about it, because at that time, it was something new that came on the market, and we went to the doctor and did it under doctors' supervision."
Schwarzenegger has acknowledged taking steroids, but pointed out that they were legal at the time.
