Same-Sex Marriage Troops Mobilizing

With the throwdown in Olympia over gay marriage about to kick off, the occasion was marked in Seattle by a march from Capitol Hill to Downtown. While a Capitol Hill march in support of gay marriage may seem like preaching to the choir, a Post-Intelligencer poll shows just over 50% of readers support legalizing same-sex marriage in the state.

As the first movement on the issue since the Presidential Election in November, the wranglings in our state Supreme Court will definitely be something to see, and the fallout could be dramatic. Will we carry on with our current status quo, or will same-sex marriage be made legal in the state, and, if so, will east King County and eastern Washington be re-energized in their plea for independence from Soddom?
