WASHINGTON STATE SUPREME COURT TO HEAR SSM CASE IN MARCH: From 365Gay.com

The Supreme Court of Washington will take up the issue of same-sex marriage on March 8.

Lower court judges in King and Thurston counties earlier this year struck down the state's ban on gay marriage.

King County Superior Court Judge William Downing said that the state Constitution guarantees basic rights to lesbian and gay people--and that those rights are violated by a state law prohibiting same-sex couples from marrying. ...

Thurston County Superior Court Judge Richard Hicks ruled that the state prohibition on gay marriage does not serve a valid purpose, and instead could weaken families who are trying to make stable homes for children.
