A step closer to marriage equality in Washington

Washington’s marriage equality bill, steadily growing in national fame as it garners more support, passed in a Senate committee in the state today and will move on for a floor vote soon.

The Government Operations, Tribal Relations & Elections Committee approved the bill 4-3 yesterday and a date has yet to be set for the floor vote. Versions exist in the House and Senate, with enough votes to pass it in both places, though opponents have already promised to fight for a referendum.

I’m pumped. Are you pumped? I’m pumped.
