Washington Says No to Equality


Moments ago, the Washington State Supreme Court ruled that the state ban on same-sex marriage does not violate their constitution. I'm particularly disappointed, since I was born in Washington.

More later when I have read the opinions.

It used to be that the courts were on our side.

*sigh*

With all of these state bans on gay marriage, and the three recent state supreme court rulings upholding them, we're seeing a very depressing outlook for gays in America.

Except Democrats will have about three-quarters of the governorships (meaning a lot of new statewide judicial appointments) and most of the legislatures after November.

Expect reversals. Not soon, but we can wait. (Those of us who are single can, anyway.)
