Wherever Washington goes that's ordtak

en Wherever Washington goes, that's going to be tipping the balance a little bit. If it goes to marriage, that's the direction people will be going in. If it goes to civil unions, that may be showing society is being more cautious.

en The ACLU argued that this amendment addressed two subjects: marriage, and civil unions and domestic partnerships. They said people would be in favor of voting for marriage, but may not be in favor of banning civil unions.
