The Supreme Court of Washington will take up the issue of same-sex marriage on March 8.

Lower court judges in King and Thurston counties earlier this year struck down the state's ban on gay marriage.

King County Superior Court Judge William Downing said that the state Constitution guarantees basic rights to lesbian and gay people - and that those rights are violated by a state law prohibiting same-sex couples from marrying. (story)

2. The irrational fears of some crazies must overrule law! We can't have

consenting adults making decisions about their lives in pursuit of happiness...what will the religious right have to turn their hate toward if we consider consenting rational adults to be equals to the better-than-thou attitude of the egomaniac 'chris'ians'!
