After years(more like decades...not just a few years) of stalling and debate, the Washington State Senate today passed an anti-discrimnation bill with a vote of 25-23. The bill will prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in housing, lending and employment.There were tears, loving embraces and of course...champagne! (y'all know the gays can't celebrate without a little bubbly!)
The bill is now sent back to the House, where is is expected to be quickly passed and sent to the Governor who will sign it.
