Washington United for Marriage

<p>Washington United for Marriage was a coalition of <a href="/facts/Secularity/uCj9a25U">secular</a> and religious organizations in <a href="/facts/Washington_(state)/7tCrTFnN">Washington State</a> involved in lobbying <a href="/facts/Washington_State_Legislature/oaAnqzkz">the State Legislature</a> to provide <a href="/facts/Same-sex_marriage/J2dpSgaV">marriage for same-sex couples</a>. The organization was founded in 2011, and formed to secure passage of a bill in the Washington legislature calling for same-sex marriage, and to then defend such a measure should a statewide referendum be launched to challenge it. Members of the coalition include <a href="/facts/Equal_Rights_Washington/Pr5oqsbP">Equal Rights Washington</a>, the <a href="/facts/Human_Rights_Campaign/S5ebYhLe">Human Rights Campaign</a>, and the <a href="/facts/American_Civil_Liberties_Union/yDxr2A43">American Civil Liberties Union</a>. Within 24 hours of having been publicly launched, the coalition had secured an endorsement for same-sex marriage in Washington from the editorial board of the <a href="/facts/Seattle_Times/NDbXsb3k">Seattle Times</a>.
