There will be day-of-decision events all over WA, no matter how the court rules. Find out when/where at http://equalrightswashington.org/
Our side needs a win.
I relish the idea of a beachhead on the other coast.
This 16-month decision-in-the-making is anxiety making too. The various possible outcomes and lack of leaks has made it worse.
I am hoping for a clean victory and not one of those New York oh-let-the-legislature-do-it things.
We lost.
They ruled no fundamental right to same-sex marriage.
As soon as they frame the question that way, instead of, 'is there a fundamental right to marry', then you know they will rule against you.
That's the wrong damn question!!!!
I must say I was very surprised that they acted like the New York court in so narrowly defining the questions. They really only asked whether the legislature had the right to regulate marriage by DOMA standards.
