Slog - Comments on One More Column for Susan Paynter to Write http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/11/one_more_column_for_susan_paynter_to_wri Last March, Susan Paynter, who has since retired from her longtime gig as a PI columnist, wrote this: I wanted to ask Rossi about all of that and more this week. As governor, where would he stand on issues such as domestic partnerships? Same-sex civil unions? Unfettered pharmacy access to the Plan B morning-after pill? Even the record number of appointments of women to key state posts that Gov. Chris Gregoire has made? Three times I called his office at Forward Washington. Eventually an answer came.

Government should stop trying to force itself on women.

She doesn't necessarily have the support of this homo and I'm fucking tired of the dems in power thinking I'm willing to continue to put up with their BS of not being able to get it done when they control both houses of the legislature and the governor's office. Will she put the power of the Governor's office behind doing the right thing and passing a bill that really does something. I don't give a shit if it's called marriage or not- I'm just as happy at this point for a civil union bill that equalizes the rights for all of us. I'm willing to leave marriage for another day.


I'd like to see if the radiant Chris G. has the fortitude to actually stand up for something.

"...Rossi voted to fun abstinence-only education programs..."


Fun abstinence-only = Accidental oxymoron!

The Governor and the State Legislature did pass both a Domestic Partner Bill and the Anti-Discrimination Bill (after over 25 years of trying). That might not be the whole enchilada, but they are solid accomplishments which should not be belittled. If Rossi had been Governor, those bills would have been vetoed.
