After the
ugliness of New York, and the current disturbing
stonewalling in New Jersey, gay marriage gets a much needed victory from the
nation's capital:
As expected, the D.C. Council voted 11-2 in favor of same-sex marriage in the District Tuesday afternoon. It was the second of two required votes on the bill.
Mayor Adrian Fenty has said he will sign the bill.
The historic vote is of particular importance because it puts the same-sex marriage issue in front of Congress. Same-sex marriages would begin in the city as soon as the bill passes a period of Congressional review. Congress is not expected to alter the law.
New Jersey, let's get on it with it before Christe comes into office and ends those hopes there.
