Fast forward this scene 50 years, we’ll not have any MOTHER IN LAW jokes, only FATHERS IN LAW to poke fun at.

Remember, WA is one of the twenty states without an anti-gay marriage amendment in its Constitution. The state's Supreme Court nearly ruled in favor of gay marriage, the vote was 5-4.

I lived there for thirty-seven years, and I'm not surprised to read this. But remember, under WA law, opposite sex couples over 62 can be considered domestic partners as well. That means this is not 100% about homosexuality.

Having been here for decades myself - and testified in favor of that DOMA years ago, I believe it’s all about moving toward same-sex marriage.

And, it took a strategy and a plan....with a well-defined desired outcome. You’ll have to excuse me for asking a penetrating question of “estrogen” on the other thread. It’s my attempt to get her focused on means, methods, and materials.
