Statement from Washington state Rep. Jim Moeller (D-Vancouver) regarding today’s California Supreme Court ruling that overturned the ban on same-gender marriage: May 15, 2008 “I am thrilled with the California court decision. It marks a giant leap toward the day when all people in this country will have equal treatment under the law. “For several years, I have been a co-sponsor of legislation in Washington that extends the right and responsibility of marriage to same-sex couples. I am very pleased that our state has been a leader in domestic partnership laws, but I agree with the California Supreme Court that domestic partnerships are simply not an adequate substitute for marriage. “I will continue to fight for full marriage equality in Washington, and I applaud the Justices in California for their decision.” Contact: Rep. Jim Moeller 360-786-7872
