King County prosecutor appeals ruling favoring gay marriage
[SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER STAFF]
King County Prosecutor Norm Maleng yesterday appealed a Superior Court judge's ruling last month that keeping gay and lesbian couples from marrying serves no legitimate purpose.
King County Superior Court Judge William Downing found that the state's Defense of Marriage Act of 1998 -- which restricts marriage to a man and a woman -- is unconstitutional.
But the judge delayed implementation of his ruling until the state Supreme Court has considered the matter. Maleng's office yesterday appealed the ruling to the state Supreme Court.
