(Praise the Lord that same-sex marriage did not get the one more vote that they needed in the state of Washington!)
 
Devastating Set Back For Same-Sex Marriage
Single vote would've established 1st state in which anyone in U.S. could get license

 
A single vote kept Washington from becoming the first state in which same-sex couples could come from anywhere in the U.S. to obtain a marriage license.
The state Supreme Court today decided 5-4 that Washington's law limiting marriage to one man and one woman does not violate the state constitution.

The court dealt a "devastating setback to same-sex marriage proponents," asserted Mathew D. Staver, founder and chairman of the public-interest legal group Liberty Counsel.

The decision is very significant, he said, because, unlike Massachusetts – which in 2003 became the only state to establish same-sex marriage – Washington does not have a residency requirement for marriage licenses.

"Same-sex couples would be able to obtain marriage licenses without having to be residents of Washington," Staver said. "Also, same-sex marriage advocates thought they could win in the more liberal state of Washington."
