Yesterday, the Human Rights Campaign joined local coalition members in announcing Washington United for Marriage, a vast coalition of local organizations, congregations, unions and businesses working together to secure civil marriage for loving, committed gay and lesbian couples in 2012.

Yesterday, a federal judge appointed by George W. Bush shredded one of longest-held arguments made by anti-gay activists in the United States: gays are bullies and harassers.

Earlier this week I traveled up the entire west coast of Washington meeting with several of the state’s openly LGBT legislators to discuss the prospects for passing a marriage equality bill next year.

A few mornings ago I joined HRC Seattle and Equal Rights Washington leaders over coffee at SeaTac airport to discuss the political lay of the land in the Evergreen State.It was great to sit down with longtime and new friends to have a thoughtful discussion about efforts to win equal rights.
