...surprised by his announcement on Leno's show, imagine how Richard Riordan felt. He and Schwarzenegger are friends and close political allies. Not two weeks before, sources close to Riordan say, Schwarzenegger had faxed to Riordan's Malibu beach house a four-or five-page speech that the actor was planning to make two days later.

What no one knew in the days leading up to Schwarzenegger's announcement was precisely how the pieces were falling into place for the actor.

He's loud and clear about his support for gay rights, including adoption rights. He once told Cosmopolitan magazine, "I have no sexual standards in my head that say this is good or this is bad.
