Default Washington State Senate passes marriage equality bill

Seattle Times - State Senate approves gay marriage bill
Quote:
OLYMPIA — A bill legalizing same-sex marriage in Washington cleared its biggest legislative hurdle Wednesday night in a historic vote by the state Senate.

Lawmakers approved the bill 28 to 21. The measure now heads for the House where it's expected to easily pass as early as next week.
