Washington, DC’s city council just voted 11-2 to legalize same-sex marriage. DC previously established civil unions and voted to recognized same-sex marriages performed in other states.
Our nation’s capital now joins NH, CT, VT, MA, and IA in legalizing same-sex marriage.
The measure still has to pass another vote and be signed into law by Mayor Adrian Fenty, steps that are widely considered to be foregone conclusions.
