The state Supreme Court upheld a ban on gay marriage Wednesday, saying lawmakers have the power to restrict marriage to heterosexual couples.

UPDATE:

Bill Duncan from the Marriage Law Project e-mails: The Washington Supreme Court just ruled in favor of the state’s marriage law. There were two opinions in favor of the marriage law garnering 5 votes (a three-justice main opinion and a two justice concurrence). There were also three separate dissenting opinions. It’s a little messy, but a win for marriage. The decision is online here (separated into six documents for each separate written opinion): http://www.courts.wa.gov/newsinfo/?fa=newsinfo.internetdetail&newsid=707
