If we are going to submit symbolic legislation, why not submit a bill for full, equal marriage? Why must the quislings in Olympia continue to support Jim Crow?

I wonder how many of these people fighting Gay Marriage would have offered Civil Unions to the African-American community? There was a time when laws were written to prevent marriage between the races. The majority of Americans thought they were right in creating such discriminatory laws.
The African-American community was seen as second-class citizen, so why not offer them the second-class option of Civil Unions. The people in power did not offer such a ridiculous concept back then yet try to claim it as a valid offer for us. Talk about bigotry and discrimination.

I support the law. It’s a huge improvement for everyone in the country and it will be given to all.

We (my decorated Vietnam veteran partner of 30+ years and I) welcome this action most strongly. We live in one of those pathetic states where this would never happen otherwise. This should be a law for the whole country, not just ones where the voter public are intelligent enough to vote for civil rights for our people. This is something now stated in the White House website under civil rights and now that the Dems have control of both houses of congress this can be a wonderful reality for us.
