Washington Marriage Bill's Passage Could Come This Week

[William769]

The Washington legislature is poised to send a marriage equality bill this week to the desk of Gov. Chris Gregoire, who has vowed to sign it.

Just days after the state Senate passed the bill by a 28-21 vote, the Associated Press reports a floor vote in the House could come as early as Wednesday. The bill, which would make Washington the seventh state plus the District of Columbia to legalize marriage rights for same-sex couples, is expected to pass by a wide margin.

Anti-gay marriage groups are vowing a ballot box fight come November, however.
