Gay Couples Must Be Allowed To Marry Washington Court Rules

Posted: August 4, 2004 1:19 pm ET

(Seattle, Washington) A Washington state court Wednesday ruled today same-sex couples must be allowed to marry.

-snip-

In his ruling, Judge Downing called the eight couples "law-abiding, taxpaying model citizens," and said, "There is no worthwhile institution that they would dishonor, much less destroy."

In the ruling, Downing also said, "The characteristics embodied by these plaintiffs are ones that our society and the institution of marriage need more of, not less. Let the plaintiffs stand as inspirations for all those citizens, homosexual and heterosexual, who may follow their path."

****

dupe? didn't see it.

this judge says it best.


peace!
