Washington: Effort To Repeal Gay Marriage Already Underway
An effort that would effectively repeal a proposed gay marriage law in Washington state is underway before passage of the law, the AP reported.
Â
Democratic Senator Ed Murray on Friday officially filed his bill which seeks to make Washington the seventh state in the nation to grant gay and lesbian couples the right to marry.

The state currently recognizes gay couples with domestic partnerships. A 2009 expansion of the law gave gay couples all the protections of marriage. A ballot initiative to repeal the law failed.
