Challenges Ahead For "Everything But Marriage" Law

Today at 10:30 a.m. we are expecting to see Gov. Chris Gregoire sign the "everything but marriage" bill into law; that will expand the rights of same-sex domestic partners to sorta-kinda-not-really equal rights with the state's legally married couples. Oh, the haters are going to haaaate this one. We've already begun to see organizations assembling their signatures in hope of reaching the magic number which could stall the law and move it to a vote come November.
