Gay marriage legislation in Washington State

[bi_janus]

Washington and Oregon papers are reporting that the last vote needed for passage in the Senate has been garnered. A Democratic senator from Camano Island became the 25th promised vote. The House has been a lock for months. I really didn't think we'd ever get it through. Governor Chris Gregoire made the legislation a priority, but Rep. Jim Moeller has been at this battle of six years. Now the real struggle begins as theocrats are already preparing a referendum. If nothing blows up, Washington will become the seventh state in the USA to sanction gay marriage.
