Women's Issues Are Society's Issues

Raising awareness about issues involving women, with a special focus on the media, pop culture, & politics. Injustices against women are systematically maintained in male-dominated societies. Women & men can be feminists by supporting women's equality. "Women's rights are human rights" - Hillary Clinton (Visit me on Twitter at @womenaresociety.)




Washington: Gay Marriage Legalized

Gov. Christine Gregoire signed legislation on Monday to make Washington the seventh state to legalize same-sex marriage, but opponents said they would try to seek its repeal through a ballot measure. Ms. Gregoire, a Democrat and a Roman Catholic, said, “I’m proud of who and what we are as a state.” Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont recognize same-sex marriage, as does Washington, D.C. The measure will take effect 90 days after the legislative session ends.
