美国中文网报道,政治网称,美国华盛顿州州议会上周通过同性恋者婚姻法案,州长葛瑞格华今天签署成为法律,让华盛顿州成为全美第7个认可同性婚姻的州。该法案6月7日正式生效。
报道称,民主党籍的葛瑞格华,在奥林匹亚议会接待室举行的签署式中签署立法,在场支持者报以热烈掌声,她说:“我以同性恋者将受到公平对待感到骄傲,这是美国同性恋者权利运动的最新胜利。”葛瑞格华称,在自己宣布支持同性婚姻后,有许多同性选民陆续联系她,向她倾诉自己的故事。自己的两个女儿使她认识到婚姻平等是重要的民权问题。先前曾经支持同性婚姻合法化的议员墨菲也说:“朋友们,我们欢迎你们到彩虹的另一端。”
预料反对者将会提出上诉,同性婚姻的合法性未来可能会由美国最高法院作最后裁定。除非反对同性恋者结婚的人士能搜集到足够的联署,以寻求公民投票推翻州议会的决定,否则华盛顿州同性婚姻法案,在州长签字后,将自6月7日起,同性恋者可以在华盛顿州结婚。倘若反对者联署成功,该法将暂遭搁置,直到11月6日总统和国会大选时举行公投再作决定。
目前纽约州、麻萨诸塞州、康乃狄克州、佛蒙特州、新罕布什尔州和爱阿华州,以及华盛顿特区都承认同性婚姻。加州在2008年曾短暂认可同性婚姻,但后来在1项州宪法修正公民投票提案,将加州的婚姻关系定义为1男、1女的结合,也就是不接受同性恋婚姻。美国联邦上诉法院上周裁定,加州禁止同性恋者结婚的提案违宪无效。
报道称,以民主党籍议员占多数的新泽西州州议会,近日表决通过同性婚姻合法化的法案,但共和党籍州长克里斯蒂说,他将否决这项法案。
