Promises From The Other Side
Before the impact of the Washington Supreme Court’s ruling to support traditional, Biblical marriage had echoes across the State, gay rights activists were not only lamenting, but also making promises.
State Representative Jim Moeller promised that he will introduce legislation next year guaranteeing full marriage equality for gays and lesbians. He said he was, “deeply disappointed that a small majority of the State Supreme Court had decided to uphold intolerant DOMA.”
State Representative Ed Murray said, “Now is not the time to be disappointed, it’s a time to recommit ourselves to the struggle ahead and to someday pass marriage equality in the state legislature.”
Gay rights legislators, with the Governor’s full support, will be in full attack mode this next session.
Faith & Freedom (formerly WERG) has had a lobbyist in Olympia for the past 13 years. We will be there this next session as well.
Senator Dan Swecker said it best. “Historically, marriage has been about providing for the next generation. It is only in the modern era that we’ve decided the issue is love between two people. Love comes and goes, but a commitment to the next generation has to be sustainable.”
Well said, Senator. We will do our best to sustain our commitment to the next generation.

This is no time for Christians to sit back and relax. Our prayers have been answered, this round, and we need to keep praying and stand firmly, armed with the Sword of the Spirit. The greatest battle is within the Christian community, and many brethren have been deceived. They are the ones who need to be brought to the truth, and there is no time to lose.
Re: Gay Marriages and the Represenatives who made those promises to change the definition of Marriage as we know it:
I believe that the institution of Marriage is between a Man and a Woman! I told these Represenatives that we the people voted them into Office and with Elections coming up we could vote them out of Office as well. I also let them know that I was sending all this information via e-mail to in form voters of there promise to change the Marriage Laws to add Gay Marriages. I'm appalled that this has become such a personal issue and that the majority of voters are being over ruled. Senators and Government Officials have made this a personal battle and they again have forgotten how they got into office and who they are working for! The choice of being Gay and living the Gay lifestyle is their choice and a decision that they have made. I'm personally tired of it being thrown in my face because of their choices. Christine Gregoire has also made this a personal issue and she isn't speaking for the majority of us who have put her in office. It's a shame that it takes a few to ruin it for the rest. These people need to do some real soul searching and relate back to the Bible. This Country as we know it was based on Christainity and who do they think they are to argue that point. This is what has made this Country what it is today and we have all reaped the rewards from it.
