| Annotation | The success of the marriage equality movement stunned even its advocates. The transformation from "outlaws to in-laws" was one of the swiftest turnarounds in U.S. civil rights history. As recently at 2006, our state law did not prohibit job discrimination against gays and lesbians, and our state Supreme Court banned same-sex marriage. Bruised but not beaten, LBGTQ+ advocates tried a brick-by-brick approach. They got domestic partnerships passed in three phases, capped by an "everything but marriage" law. Marriage equality landed on Washington's November ballot in 2012. Devastating votes against same-sex marriage in other states - 31 losses without a win - informed a new strategy. It would shift debate from the head to the heart. Adult. Unrated. |
