I am a firm believer that consenting adults should be free to love whomever they choose.  As long as no one is being hurt or abused, what you do in the privacy of your own home and on your own time is your own damn business.  I do not believe that government should be in charge of regulating love, companionship, or marriage.  I was proud to call Washington home when the state marriage equality bill was passed.

Since politics and our current national and state political partisanship is a sewer, there are some groups that are determined to repeal what I consider progress and have turned in enough signatures to put the right to marriage up for a general vote in November.  Trying to take away a RIGHT….  OK, if that is how the game is played, then my sweet wife and I  are very much behind the  approval of state Referendum 74 , putting marriage equality up to a populous vote on the November ballot so that marriage equality becomes non-debatable fact in Washington.

Washington United passed out small green stretchy nylon rings during Seattle Pride for people to wear to show their support for marriage equality.  Stamps-With-Foot and I have been wearing them over our wedding rings to “voice” our support and will continue to do so until the election in November.    I would urge you to do something as well.  If you are already a supporter, then drop by the WU website and give them a couple of bucks, volunteer, or buy a sticker or two for your car/bike/laptop/cubical/lunchbox/etc…
