Video: Washington Gov. Gregoire feels gay marriage is a religious issue
Today on Seattle’s KING 5 TV show, Up Front, Governor Christine Gregoire was asked about her personal beliefs on gay marriage.
Her first and foremost statement was her belief in equality. She proudly stated her advocacy of civil unions. Reminding us civil unions were legalized on her watch.
The interviewers mentioned civil unions were not marriage.
Governor Gregoire responded, reluctantly, “I believe that is a religious issue”.
If we didn’t know before, we now know Governor Gregoire feels civil marriage is a religious issue.

In other words, legally speaking, the marriage is not lawful unless performed by an agent of the state (weather it's a JP or a Preacher or John Doe).
Although Google Ads are a good revenue generating option, I'm not sure that having an openly anti-gay rights ad right shown on the site is necessarily good form.
Just my 2 cents, though.
Let's face it; the gubernatorial campaign is a lost cause (again). Don't let it distract you from other important races...like Superintendent of Public Instruction (SPI).
The media drone on and on about Terry Bergeson and Randy Dorn, who have all the corrupt endorsements and money. In fact, Bergeson and Dorn have been working together for years, and both have many scandals around their necks.
One candidate for SPI is raising Hell. He has more information on his campaign website (and discusses more issues) than any other candidate in this race. Indeed, he could probably blow any of the gubernatorial candidates out of the water.
We've stood by and watched George W. Bush and the Vichy Democrats flush the economy down the toilet. Can we at least rally behind our schools, behind the children who will inherit our mess?
Check out David Blomstrom's campaign website at www.seattle-mafia.org. Don't let corrupt unions determine the outcome of this race!
Politics has been a choice of "the lesser of the evils" for some time now.
As a gay site, we support Gregoire as the lesser of the two evils.
That doesn't mean we have to be happy with everything she says and does.
