I think a lot of those “marriages” are deviants from other states coming to Washington for their “wedding” and going back to somewhere, preferably Hell.
“About a quarter of the gay couples who got married this past year in Washington were from another state. The biggest number, 524, came from Oregon. For 170 marriages, the couples live in Texas and 155 couples traveled from California to get married in Washington.
In only 6 percent of marriages for opposite-sex couples, both spouses were from another state.”
According to the article, it is good for tourism.
We really need to divide this country in half.
I know of at least one "couple" who did this. They were from Oregon.
