Blatantly stolen from Froggy's place. |
Anyway, up in Washington state, the legislature has voted that the state will recognize same-sex marriages from other states as legal domestic partnerships. Now, The Gays can't get married up in Abby-ville--though I think she's working on that, too--but the state will recognize your gay marriage by a vote of 28-19. It now heads to Governor Gregoire to sign into law.
Under current state law, Washington recognizes only domestic partnerships from other states, but excludes same-sex marriage, and while this bill doesn't create full marriage equality in Washington, same-sex marriages from elsewhere would be eligible for the rights granted to domestic partnerships in this state.
Someone email this to Montana and Indiana, so they can see how things work when people are granted equality.
And someone give Abby a treat, because I'm thinking she had something to do with this.
Good girl, Abby. Good. Girl.
