Dan Savage Gets His Same-Sex Marriage License In Washington State (VIDEO)

WATCH: Dan Savage Gets His Marriage License In Washington State

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights advocate Dan Savage was among the first in his home state of Washington to receive a marriage license just hours after Gov. Chris Gregoire signed the voter-approved law allowing same-sex couples to wed.

"If you had told me when I was coming out when I was a teenager that a time would come when a majority in a state...would vote to endorse marriage equality, would vote to extend marriage rights to same-sex couples, I wouldn't have believed you," a glowing Savage said after receiving the certificate with his husband Terry Miller.

"It's gotten better for us because straight people have gotten better about us."

Same-Sex Marriage Licenses Issued in Washington For the First Time

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article referred to Savage and Miller as having "tied the knot." In fact, they only received the marriage certificate.
