Mass gay weddings expected in Washington state 
OLYMPIA, Washington (Reuters) - Washington state will usher in same-sex marriage on Sunday as hundreds of gay and lesbian couples exchange vows in mass weddings on the first day they can legally tie the knot — and the biggest party will be in Seattle. 
Washington, Maine and Maryland became the first U.S. states to extend marriage rights to same-sex couples by a popular vote, with the November passage of separate ballot measures that marked a watershed moment for gay rights. 
Washington's law went into effect on Thursday, when hundreds of couples lined up to apply for marriage licenses, and the first legal same-sex weddings are due on Sunday after the expiry of a three-day waiting period required of all marriages. 
Diane Butzberger and Amanda Russ of Tacoma plan to be among the first of 140 couples to get married at Seattle's City Hall on Sunday morning in a feted mass celebration.
Dear Nitwits of America:

I'm sorry you lay awake night after night imagining what "those people" are doing. I'm sorry you're in emotional turmoil all day,  appetite ruined, your marriage & relationships destroyed.  I'm sorry you're a bigoted idiot with no gay or lesbian friends you can be happy for & with.
