Same-Sex Marriage Bill Becomes Law In Washington State

Posted by | February 13, 2012 16:30 | Filed under: Top Stories


Washington Governor Chris Gregoire has signed the gay marriage bill.

Gregoire signed the bill in the state reception room in the Capitol, surrounded by gay rights supporters. “I’m proud our same-sex couples will no longer be treated as separate but equal,” Gregoire said…

The law takes effect June 7, but opponents are already mounting challenges on multiple fronts.

Opponents planned to file a challenge Monday that could put the law on hold pending the outcome of a November vote. Separately, an initiative was filed at the beginning of the session that opponents of gay marriage say could lead to the new law being overturned.
