SEATTLE A new effort has begun to legalize gay marriage in Washington state.
The Seattle Times ( http://bit.ly/uEWoaj) reports gay marriage backers believe the time has come to take another step toward equal marriage rights for same-sex couples.
Two years ago, the Legislature passed the domestic partnership law nicknamed "everything but marriage."
Now gay-marriage supporters want Washington to become the seventh state to legalize marriage of gay and lesbian couples.
A coalition of dozens of gay-rights, civil-liberties, labor and religious groups say they'll pressure the Legislature to pass a marriage equality law in 2012. They are prepared to defend it from any referendum challenge.
Their effort begins Monday with a Bellevue news conference, followed by a series of suburban town halls to show support for gay marriage outside of liberal Seattle.

The cartoonists had a lot to work with this week and rose to the occasion!
I love the last one the best.
