I don't really care who our Gov is for this event. That paper could have been signed by Carl Rove using the blood of a newborn goat and I wouldn't have cared so long as the signature was binding. All I care about it is that they signed it and barring legal challenge it'll stand. I don't see it as anything but putting right what should be a no brainer. Words and their usages evolve over time - personally I don't let the dictionary rule my personal rights, nor yours and I feel granting that freedom should be celebrated. There are worse things in this world than allowing people who care for each other to commit to it and have that union be recognized with all the legal protections that go with it.
So for my friends who now can get married to those they care about Chris, David, John, Carrie, Gina, and Donald ~ I'm so happy for you all.
PS As part of the nanny state liberal left I can assure you Christine Gregoire is not our champion - far from it.
