Marriage coming to Washington State? Maryland?

The Governor of Washington has agreed to sign a marriage bill if it comes to her.  Yesterday it was announced that there are enough votes in the state Senate, along with enough votes in the House.  It is a good bet that the State of Washington will legalize same sex marriage.   Yeah, Washington!

Meanwhile, the Governor of Maryland is introducing a marriage equality measure today. 

The Baltimore Sun reports that O’Malley’s staff worked throughout the day to fine-tune the religious protections language in the bill, which the governor said in a briefing would make the bill “a little clearer” and, he hopes, ensure that it enjoys “additional support” in comparison with a similar bill that failed last year.

Let's not forget, though, that anti-equality amendments are on the ballot in MN and NC.
