Brendon K. Taga (L) and Jesse Pageat, the second couple to receive a same-sex marriage license in Washington state, at the King County Recorder's Office on December 6, 2012 in Seattle, Washington. The office opened at 12:01 AM PST to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples for the first time, after Washington voters chose to legalize same-sex marriage in November's election.
