Same Sex Marrages in D.C.

Tuesday the Washington D.C. City Council voted 11-2 and approved a bill that would legalize same sex marrage and extend rights to same sex couples. After Mayor Adrian Fenty signs the Bill Congress will have 30 days to intervene before it will take effect. But I doubt that the Democratic majority on will block the bill. Washington will join Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire and Iowa in allowing legal same sex marrages. Yvette Alexander and Marion Barry voted aginst the bill because the majority of their constituents did not support the bill.
