Today: Washington Gov. Gregoire To Sign "Everything But Marriage" Bill

Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire will sign that state's "everything but marriage" domestic partners bill today. "The bill would give additional spousal rights and benefits to domestic partners, including same-sex couples and unmarried senior heterosexual couples, in various areas of state law."

A referendum to repeal the law is being spearheaded by noted homophobe Gary Randall's Faith and Freedom Network, who are in the middle of a petition drive to get the issue on the November ballot. Equal Rights Washington is countering with a "Decline 2 Sign 71" pledge drive asking voters not to sign the petition.
