, December 10, 2012
Seattle gay-rights advocate and journalist Dan Savage (L), and Terry Miller sort through roses on the steps of City Hall after getting married at Seattle City Hall in Seattle, Washington on December 9. Washington made history last month as one of three US states where marriage rights were extended to same-sex couples by popular vote, joining Maryland and Maine in passing ballot initiatives recognizing gay nuptials.
