The state of Washington has voted to allow Same Couple Civil Unions. Termed the "everything but marriage proposition", it was voted in November 3, 2009. If offers Same Couple marriages eveything EXCEPT the ability to be termed a "marriage."
What the hell is it about the word "marriage" that has everyone's UNDERWEAR all up in a bunge! Get past yourselves. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, it's a FUCKING DUCK! If it LOOKS like a marriage, FUNCTIONS like a marriage, and IS a marriage, IT'S A MARRIAGE!
