2012 / LGBTQITSLFA / Olympia Inslee on HuffPo: "No Politician Should Deny Any of My Fellow Washingtonians the Right to Marry"

Posted by Goldy on Tue, Jan 24, 2012 at 2:54 PM

Over at Huffington Post, Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Jay Inslee has a piece up celebrating Washington's impending marriage equality law, and taking on those who would repeal it:

I am hopeful that the virtues of love, equality and justice will prevail. We are no longer fighting for an unknown, shadowed minority. We are fighting for our brothers and sisters, our neighbors, our co-workers and our children. We are fighting for people we love, who deserve every opportunity to build families and relationships openly, without fear and without reproach.

No politician should deny any of my fellow Washingtonians the right to marry. The rights and responsibilities of marriage are civil, they are legal and now it is time they are made equal.

I think he's talking to you, Mr. McKenna.

I believe McKenna has often said he would uphold the law as written...same as Obama and Romney...that being the job of an executive.

Oh, and can you document when exactly did Jay Inslee, a Legislator, introduce a Gay Marriage bill while in office for the last decade?

What was that 2002? 2005? What...no?

Nothing like a divorced man prattling on about marriage (of any kind). Right, Goldylocks?

Writing on/for HuffPo? Never thought about Inslee much. Now he's got to work to prove to me he's not an irrational idiot and is just trying to get votes.
