Marriage supporters in Washington State have successfully blocked a marriage redefinition law from going into effect until voters are given the opportunity to reject or accept the bill on their November ballots.

Marriage supporters had until June 6 to gather and submit more than 120,000 valid signatures in favor of Referendum 74, the ballot question that asks voters to approve or reject the marriage redefinition bill. Preserve Marriage Washington, the group leading the effort to prevent the marriage redefinition bill from going into effect, surpassed that number.

Bill Brooks, president of the North Carolina Family Policy Council said, “We are hopeful that the voters of Washington will join North Carolina voters in choosing to protect the institution of marriage from redefinition.”

Deuteronomy 11: 18-21
“Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers to give them, like the days of the heavens above the earth.
