Gov. Christine Gregoire will introduce a bill that will allow same-sex couples to get married in Washington State.

Gregoire has previously withheld support from gay marriage legislation due to religious beliefs, but has recently seen her views change.

“The religions can do what they want to do, but it is not okay for the state to discriminate,” Gregoire said in a speech Thursday to 100 gay marriage supporters.

Neither the marriage for procreation or the sanctity of marriage arguments against gay marriage are legitimate,  Gregoire said.
