WA-DP-approve-ref-71_logoAlthough signs looked good on Election Night, it’s now official… news organizations have called the race over Referendum 71 (the proposed expansion of domestic partner protections) for the Approve side!

Domestic partners in Washington State now have the state-level rights and responsibilities afforded to married couples, and all families are that much safer.  Congratulations to the Approve Ref. 71 campaign who organized, educated and stood up to the lies told by those who oppose our equality.

Also, continuing her great coverage at Pam’s House Blend, Lurleen shares some history and an analysis of the numbers.
