    Once More, With Feeling 

    This is not likely to be the last post I write on the subject of same-sex marriage, not by a long shot.  But yesterday, the Washington state Supreme Court heard arguments on the question of whether the state's Defense of Marriage Act violates the state's constitution.

    I just wanted to highlight a couple of passages from the Post-Intelligencer's coverage:
    Some got up at 4 a.m. and drove across the state to attend. One man trudged through the crowd carrying a wooden cross over his shoulder.

    Several Christian schools had closed for the day so students could attend, said Ken Hutcherson, senior pastor at Antioch Bible Church of Redmond, who was not surprised at the number of teenagers.

    Sarah Hastin, 13, stood and sang hymns with Ashlyn Constantino, 17, and Dawnielle McDonald, 20, who was wearing a sandwich board painted with flames that proclaimed "Jesus Saves from Hell." All came from the Calvary Chapel Church of Stanwood and Camano Island.

    "My mom supported me on this," said Hastin, who took the day off from school. "We're showing our state and our country how marriage should be the way God meant it to me -- one man and one woman."
