| Description | Heather Purser has no immediate wedding plans, but thanks to her persistence, she and her partner can now legally marry on Suquamish tribal land.
The tribe this week made it legal for same-sex couples to marry.
Purser, 28, a commercial diver who lives in Seattle but was raised in Kitsap County off the reservation, said she had been trying to get the law changed for years.
In June, the tribe held a public hearing on the issue. Then on Monday, the tribal council unanimously adopted the new ordinance, according to Purser and a report by the Kitsap Sun. |
