Just to keep the record straight, the state of Washington ultimately (2006) found no fundamental right for gay marriage.

Despite significant differences in the rulings, a majority of justices in both cases [NY & Wash.] refused to grant same-sex couples a "fundamental right" to marry, although they acknowledged that heterosexuals have such a right. And unlike Massachusetts’ highest court, which rejected arguments that the state had a "compelling" interest in banning same-sex marriage, the rulings in New York and Washington found that the state had a “legitimate” and “compelling” interest in promoting procreation by only allowing heterosexuals to marry.
