Marriage In Washington

From Yahoo:
"Washington gov signs gay marriage bill into law"

Gov. Chris Gregoire handed gay rights advocates a major victory Monday, signing into law a measure that legalizes same-sex marriage in Washington state, making it the seventh in the nation to allow gay and lesbian couples to wed. It's a historic moment for the state, but same-sex couples can't walk down the aisle just yet. The law takes effect June 7, but opponents on multiple fronts already are preparing to fight. Gay marriage supporters said that while they are ready for a campaign battle, they are allowing themselves to celebrate first. Gay marriage is legal in New York, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Washington, D.C.

^ I am all for gay marriage if the people in the state or country vote for it. I think Americans should be able to vote for gay marriage in a federal referendum and the results should be binding. ^
