It's all God's fault. That's the only logical conclusion you can draw from the ad produced by Protect Marriage Washington in the campaign against domestic partnership rights for gays and lesbians in the state of Washington.  The ad (below) explains how God apparently created Adam and Eve, which was the first marriage—one man, one woman, so that's now how it should be.  In the 30-second spot, they didn't have time to explain how the sons of the first marriage produced another generation without indulging in incest with Eve. Perhaps in the next ad?  According to the ad, allowing domestic partnership rights will somehow harm children although neither the ad nor the website explain quite how, and they duck the ultimate question entirely: If god hates gays so much, why did he (she?) make them in the first place?
