State Supreme Court upholds Washington polygamy ban

The Washington State Supreme Court today upheld the state's Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which defines marriage as the union of a man and a woman.

Media reports continue to call this a ban on gay marriage. See the following headlines:
The New York Times, "Washington Court Upholds Ban on Gay Marriage"
The Columbian (Vancouver, WA), "State Supreme Court upholds Washington gay marriage ban"

Of course, since DOMA says marriage is between a man and a woman, polygamy is also banned. But, of course, most same-sex advocates as well as the media have no problem discriminating against those relationships. So in the interest of equality here are some excerpts from the article*, “State Supreme Court upholds Washington polygamy ban”:

====
“For her part, the governor offered support for extending marriage-like civil rights and protections to [polygamists], saying the current arrangement amounts to discrimination.”
====
“The [polygamists] who sued to overturn the [DOMA] law were dismayed at the ruling, but some said there would still be a push for polygamy marriage rights in the Legislature.”
====
“Justice Mary Fairhurst said the majority improperly bowed to public opinion by upholding the [polygamy] ban. ‘Unfortunately, the (majority) are willing to turn a blind eye to DOMA's discrimination because a popular majority still favors that discrimination,’ Fairhurst wrote.”
====
King County Executive Ron Sims, who helped foster one of the original lawsuits by [polygamists] seeking to marry in Seattle, said his next step would be to push for civil unions.
====
[Fifty] states have laws banning [polygamy] or limiting marriage to between a man and a woman.

*Excerpts based on The Columbian article linked above. Only the names [of gay marriage replaced with polygamy] have been changed. Only the credibility of the media and same-sex marriage advocates have been harmed in the making of these excerpts.
