According to their website, they have 151,338 signatures. I hope they are carefully looked over… but even if that is enough, I am glad that the majority of Washingtonians seem to be on our side and that they only got JUST enough to put it on the ballot, not a significant amount that indicates support.

I have an 11-yr old son who loves scouting(sponsored by local church) He hasn't questioned yet why his father can't/chooses not to participate. Seems there is and ENDLESS list of ways our family is discriminated against-- how many of those to you share with an 11-yr old person? For myself, nearly-an-eagle-scout, I just want to say F.U. to the BSA. I admire Zach Wahl's optimistic approach. I could learn from his undaunted determination. "President Obama said the exact same thing up until the day he endorsed same-sex marriage. I expect we'll see a similar progression from the Boy Scouts," he said. "Obviously, this is a very long-standing policy and I don't think it we'll see a change today, this week or even this year. But over the coming months, we'll continue to take steps in this evolution."

New Poll inWAShington State:Seattle, WA) A new, independent, statewide poll finds that an overwhelming majority of voters approve of the Washington’s law extending civil marriage to same-sex couples. Washington voters approve of the law by a 54-33% margin. In addition to extraordinary support by Democrats (87%), the poll also found significant support among Independents, nearly mirroring the full poll, at 52-36%.

Next week, Washington United for Marriage expects opponents to submit more than enough signatures to put the existing law allowing committed same-sex couples to marry in Washington up for referendum in November. The poll was taken May 22-24 of 500 voters, with a margin of error of 4.4 percent.
