Does this mean that our popular vote in favor of R71 shouldn't count?
For those who are capable of applying a view to civil rights broader than what happened yesterday and today, read this very fascinating (at least to me) wikipedia entry. Notice how rarely the courts advanced the cause vs popular vote and state legislatures. and of course how long it took and how tireless the women (and more than a few men) were at pursuing it. And those state legislature and popular votes were by men only.

If you had told someone in 1994 that 47% of voters in Pierce county would in 15 years vote in favor of a full marriage rights domestic partnerships law, they would have asked you for the name of your dealer, because you obviously had access to some very good hallucinogens.

If you go to the Washington state website this map is from, you'll get a lot more useful information, by rolling the old mouse over the counties.

What Will said in #2.
If this passes, a follow up initiative should be passed that allows areas (by county) to only recieve back in services and funding, road construction etc, equivalent to the taxes they've paid in. The voters outside the big cities will fall over themselves in their rush to vote for it, even though it would hurt them the most. And we could stop subsidizing their lifestyle choices.

Banning gays didn't help much when incident after incident was perpetrated by trusted married adult males. So the BSA pioneered new policies that severely limited opportunity for abuse that are familiar to most people working with children today. Simple things such as never allowing volunteers or staffers to be in situations alone with children, in a closed office etc. All outings and camping trips had to be with at least two unrelated adults, never with just one adult, etc etc.
This greatly reduced the abuse cases for the Boy Scouts in the US. Though they continue their gay ban for their own backward reasons, they never claim that the ban is to protect kids from pedophiles. The RCC would be in less trouble now if they'd recognized this back in the 80's when the BSA did. Yet the RCC continues to refuse to implement the same child protection policies that nearly every youth organization has practiced for a generation.
