With approximately 69% of the expected votes in, it seems that Washington state's "everything but marriage" law has been approved. Although this measure does not allow for same-sex couples to marry, it expands their rights as domestic partners.
According to an Associate Press report, the passing of the referendum will allow domestic partners to additional rights previously only given to married couples.
At last count, Referendum 71 was leading with 52% of the vote.
Although gays couples in Washington still cannot marry, this, at the very least, is a step in the right direction as far as equality is concerned.
