D.C. Passed Gay Marriage!

Same-sex marriage is coming to our nation's capital. The city council just passed the measure for the second time in less than a month. The bill will now go to the Mayor for his signature, which he has promised. After a 30 day Congressional review, the signed bill will become law with same-sex marriages beginning in March 2010. This of course, is providing that Congress doesn't intervene, which it is not expected to do.

This is another victory in the marriage equality fight. After taking a few steps back with California and Maine reversing their same-sex marriage laws, and New Jersey temporarily side-stepping the issue for now, D.C. has brought back the momentum. Congratulations!
