Today, conservative Democrat State Sen. Jim Kastama (a candidate for Secretary of State) declared he will support legislation for equal rights—the 24th state senator to commit to the measure,
with six holding out. The House appears to have necessary support, while Gov. Chris Gregoire has also endorsed it.There's big business in the state, including Microsoft, which publicly supports equality
(it's good for our business and good for the state's economy"). As we all know, corporations offer financial backing to politicos who stand for their views; isn't that what it always come down to? So much for true civil rights... It's still about the almighty dollar.Six U.S. states and D.C. currently allow same-sex marriage: New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, Iowa and New Hampshire (it's in danger of being overturned in the latter state). It's up for consideration again in New Jersey—where Democrats believe they are within spitting distance of securing support to override a certain veto by asswipe Rep. Governor Chris Christie. *
I personally think the president should just make it legal everywhere for everyone to have the right to marry. Also to sign something that it can not be overturned since it goes against equal rights to everyone. It should be left up to each individual & even the religions if they want to be for it or against, not left up to the president.
