Washington Supreme Court Hears Gay Marriage Case
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/03/030805waCourt.htm

The Supreme Court of Washington today began hearing arguments in case calling for gays and lesbians to be allowed to marry.

The case hinges on how nine Supreme Court justices interpret 34 words in the state constitution.

The key passage is Article 1, Section 12, which says, “No law shall be passed granting to any citizen ... privileges or immunities which upon the same terms shall not equally belong to all citizens.”

1. Hard to see any wiggle room in that.
Not that the anti-gay bigots can't find away to tap-dance and rationalize about this or any other issue... but that statement seems pretty clear. Rights belong to ALL citizens, not just some.
