http://www.starbulletin.com/news/20090225_Civil_unions_divide_Capitol.html#fullstoryHouse Bill 444 is the bill that would have provided legal recognition for civil unions (aka same-sex marriages).
While I myself did not support the bill (nor would I have supported one banning it), I will neither celebrate nor protest regardless of the outcome of the bill. Being unmarried, I myself have nothing at stake from the outcome, and as such I refuse to take sides.
I will say one thing though... if I
did have something at stake, or
had to take sides, I don't know which side I would pick, but it would not be a decision made lightly.
