Comment on this article | Editorial: Actually, vote yes on R-71
Due to the somewhat confusing set-up of our state's laws on ballot measures, our editorial headline last week incorrectly urged citizens to vote no on Referendum 71.
Although R-71 itself deserves to be blocked from the ballot, if it does go forward to Election Day, the correct action is to vote yes.
Voting yes will affirm the Legislature's action granting all residents the ability to form domestic partnerships that are "everything but marriage."
A strong majority of Washingtonians have come to believe that it is unfair to deny same-sex couples the same fundamental human rights as we acknowledge for conventional couples. Descrimination based on who someone falls in love with just isn't right.
So if you see Referendum 71 on the ballot, vote yes.
