Washington state has passed an expanded version of its domestic-partnership law. And there was much rejoicing!
And my Ph.D. is pretty much finished. Of course, this means the real fun of last-minute expansion and revision in the lead-up to January submission begins, but least it's functionally finished.

CONGRATS!!! Celebrate, seriously!
So far, I have not really managed to do that. But I'm working on it!
That's huge. Congratulations!
As for the Referendum 71 outcome, it's not officially confirmed that enough people voted Approve, but they're anticipating it based on the results so far. There's still votes that need to be counted.
I turned 18 last month, so I voted by absentee ballot a few weeks ago. If it turns out to be true that the expanded domestic partnership law passed, I will be proud to say I helped achieve the victory.
