Suquamish Tribe approves resolution for same-sex marriages
Posted: Tuesday, August 2, 2011
The Suquamish Tribe of Washington has legalized same-sex marriage.
The tribe adopted a resolution that the general council approved in March.
After a public hearing in June, the law was made official on Monday.
"Really it was the Suquamish people who approved this," Heather Purser, who raised the issue, told The Kitsap Sun. "The general council is really what made everything happen."
A handful of states, plus the Coquille Tribe of Oregon, have legalized same-sex marriage.
