Dominic Holden of Slog reports on the rally held by anti-gay religious folks on the steps of Washington's Capitol Building in Olympia yesterday in anticipation of the House taking up a Domestic Partner bill that has already been approved by the state senate and has more co-sponsors in the House than it needs to pass.
Said state senator Ed Murray, the bill's sponsor in the senate, of the rally: "I think the rally is probably more of an attempt by certainorganizations to find a reason for being, to fill their own coffers andkeep their own organization going. They are down in polls and down in the legislature. It is not a happy time for them."
The measure would provide virtually every right of marriage but the name. That, Murray has hoped, would be the next step.
