By a vote of 28-21, the Washington State Senate passes legislation to legalize same-sex marriage in the state.  The measure, which is supported by Governor Christine Gregoire, now moves on to the House, where it could go up for a vote as early as next week. The Senate passage of the bill puts Washington a step closer to becoming the seventh state to make gay marriage legal. Opponents have already said that, if the bill is enacted, they will put the issue before the State's voters.
