Washington State: Focus on the Small Victories

[SeattleRedBear]

I'm so depressed and upset right now. The state supreme court just ruled that the state DOMA legislation does not violate the state constitution. I only read through the first five pages of the judgment and decided I'd wait for the news analysis (I am not fluent in legalese...something about gays and lesbians not being a suspect class (even though we all know they've been suspected for years of many many things )) At least we (finally) got non-discrimination in housing, jobs, etc. passed earlier this year. For us, that was a huge victory that took 30 years.

Wow! That was terrific - Travel Channel's taste of AKL - especially with our trip exactly one month away, but it was way too short and they never showed the POOL!!!
