BREMERTON, Washington - July 26 - Members of the Bremerton/Kitsap County chapter of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) - as well as PFLAG members across the state -- are expressing deep disappointment today by the Washington State Supreme Court ruling that the state's Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is constitutional.
"One of the first fears a parent has when they discover they have a gay, lesbian or bisexual son or daughter is that their child will be denied the basic right to get married," said Marcie Mathis, the Pacific Northwest Regional director for PFLAG.
"While many gay and lesbian couples choose to have a commitment ceremony and start families, this decision leaves them continuing to lack the basic and essential legal protections for their children and for themselves that only legal civil marriage can provide."
