Washington Not Having Gay Nups
Upholds Previous Ruling

gavel2.jpg
Don't you hate coming down off a high? We sure do, especially when said high's a result of progressive gay marriage rulings.

Too bad for us (among others) that Washington State's Supreme Court has refused to reconsider their ban on same-sex marriage, meaning that their decision this summer stands. 365 Gay reports:

In its 5 - 4 July ruling the Supreme Court said that the ban on same-sex marriage, the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, was not unconstitutional. The court did, however, say that the legislature could repeal the law and pass legislation allowing same-sex marriage.

Ug, what's the point of having a supreme court if they don't flex their muscle a little? Sure, checks-and-balances is great and all, but we want results!
