Gay Marriage Now Legal In Washington After Governor’s Signature
-
We saw this coming as the bill made it’s way through the state’s legislature. Now the Governor has made signed the bill which legalizes gay marriage in Washington. From ABC News:
Gov. Chris Gregoire handed gay rights advocates a major victory, 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.
Gregoire signed the bill in the state reception room in the Capitol, surrounded by gay rights supporters. “I’m proud our same-sex couples will no longer be treated as separate but equal,” Gregoire said.
It’s a historic moment, but same-sex couples can’t walk down the aisle just yet.
The law takes effect June 7, but opponents are already mounting challenges on multiple fronts.
Opponents planned to file a challenge Monday that could put the law on hold pending the outcome of a November vote. Separately, an initiative was filed at the beginning of the session that opponents of gay marriage say could lead to the new law being overturned…
Liberals are raising the idol of Baal once again. Christians beware, the intolerance of the Left can be vicious.

Keep fighting the good fight Todd. I'll leave this to you. I'm not too worried about this Washington. I'm concerned about the one on the east coast. That's where my problems are.
Here you go…

You can respond in the new post or here, but how is gay marriage different from the health care mandate that you oppose?
