Today is a big day for gay rights advocates. For years, LGBT's [Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, & Transgendered] have been fighting for the right to be married, or even gain the right to civil union. Only a couple states currently have laws set in stone that allow gays to be married, but to have Washington - the capital of the United States - to allow them to marry may possibly set an example for other states. This occurrence would be a miracle by most standards, but regardless, its a happy day for LGBT's.
Why would this matter? Gay rights have been a huge thing in America for years, to have the capital state of our country to vote that it's constitutional is gigantic. President Obama has been saying for a long time that be DOES believe in civil unions between LGBTS, but for the people to agree with him really shows the acceptance of the American people. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure it is going to cause a religious uproar but one of these days, America will realize that separation of church and state is the real deal. You cannot judge a couple based on biblical beliefs if the government is supposedly following this set law. This is just one of the ways America, to outsiders, may seem a bit corrupt.
