To Support Equality, Vote Yes
More than 5,000 couples have registered as domestic partners since 2007. These couples reside in every county in Washington. The Domestic Partnership Law ensures that all Washington families have the same protections, rights, and responsibilities as their neighbors. The law guarantees that all families will be treated fairly, especially in times of crisis. Many gay and lesbian couples, often with children are domestic partners. The Domestic Partnership Law allows them to protect their loved ones.
Opponents of the Domestic Partnership Law (SB 5688) are trying to block it by putting it to a vote. So approving Referendum 71, approves the Domestic Partnership Law and protects the rights of all families. Yes on Ref 71 = Yes for Equality.
