That's absurd!

Telling someone who they can and cannot marry is just as tyrannic as telling someone they cannot marry...

...and consenting adults is not the same as a creature of the wild so stuff that argument I *know* you're itching to throw out.

I am so happy that couples in love get to do this and that they actually get to use the term "marriage," despite the wishes of some.

Now....for the other 43 states!!!

Good luck. I think it won't happen for another 200 years for full acceptance in some parts of this nation. We happen to be blessed here in the Pacific NW in terms of acceptance and minding your own d&mn business. Folks in other parts are more likely to be so bored with their meaningless little lives that they'd legislate what people can and cannot do in the bedroom.

And the House in Washington has now passed this bill. Off to the Governor, who's pledged to sign it.
