Washington Defense of Marriage Alliance

This is so rich. A group is trying an argument from absurdity tactic to show how ridiculous the claim that Washington State's Andersen v. King County decision is that declared a "legitimate state interest" for the state to restrict same-sex couples from legal marriage.

Washington Defense of Marriage Alliance


If passed by Washington voters, the Defense of Marriage Initiative would:

* add the phrase, “who are capable of having children with one another” to the legal definition of marriage;
* require that couples married in Washington file proof of procreation within three years of the date of marriage or have their marriage automatically annulled;
* require that couples married out of state file proof of procreation within three years of the date of marriage or have their marriage classed as “unrecognized;”
* establish a process for filing proof of procreation; and
* make it a criminal act for people in an unrecognized marriage to receive marriage benefits.
