Now, I can't get to the link because it requires me to have an account, so I'll quote from my copy of The Washington Post.
The D.C. Council voted yesterday, the first of three steps, to allow same-sex marriage in our nation's capitol. And it passed. In two weeks, the second vote will happen to make it law, and then Mayor Fenty has to sign it. Mayor Fenty is widely known to support this and will sign, he says, since the second vote is expected to be second verse, same as the first and all.
Quote :
Same-sex marriage opponents, including the Archdiocese of Washington and dozens of other religious leaders, conceded that they are running out of time and options to stop the bill from becoming law.
Only Congress or the courts can slow the bill down now, and even religious leaders are starting to admit defeat on that point.
But what about what happened in Maine with the popular vote?
Quote :
Two weeks ago, the D.C. Board of elections and Ethics ruled that city laws would prohibit a public vote because it would discriminate against gays and lesbians.
When it happened in other states, it felt great. But it never felt as good as this. I can't marry a woman in Maryland yet. But I'll be able to marry one in one of my favorite cities in the world in two weeks, and a place I consider part of my home. And it feels fucking awesome.

Congrats, DC! This is a perfect antidote to the repeated stupidity of anti-gay factions - the ones which sadly tend to be the loudest.

So, uh, can she marry someone of the same sex and the opposite sex at the same time?

I believe the only option is for our forum to become a polygamist one. Way too many want to marry Delcat, including myself.

Well, I can't marry her (we've been friends for years, so it'd be like marrying my own kid), but I'll be glad to let you hold the reception at my house. And Morgan could probably make the cake-he's good at baking.

Ladies! Gentlemen! Please! Kindly wait in the foyer, where my manslaves will provide you with delicious snacks and amiable small talk, and once I finish building and furnishing the harem room, we shall begin negotiations. Kitbug, your adorable Pokemon may also attend, but see to it that he has crayons and construction paper so that he does not get bored during the meeting. Somath, that eggbeater had better be housetrained.
Seriously, I know I say it way too often, but y'all are way too nice to me |D More importantly, hooray for Washington! That is a serious fuzz-fest all around! I'll have to make sure my sister knows.

Aw, that means no camping in Monument Valley. It would have been pretty neat to pile in a tent or the back of a pickup truck, sit around a fire, cuddle under a fleece blanket, and have amazing sex under the clear sky, with nothing but stars.
I'm all for an orgy comsummation of the marriage afterwards though.

Fuck everybody, I want to be the best woman! So I can embarrass you with a toast by recalling all the things that happened at the awesome bachelorette party I'm going to throw you.

All this talk of weddings, harems and orgies has made me horny.

The vote went through yesterday. Fenty needs to sign it (He swears he will), and then it has a thirty-day wait period in Congress where it can be challenged.
Congress has showed no signs of even giving a damn and since the Congress is in control of the Democrats and we have a liberal president there is almost no risk of challenge since you know...Congress has more important things to worry about.
And it passing? Could put between $5-20 million dollars of revenue into the city with Virginia, Maryland, and other out-of-state couples coming into the district for their weddings.
Of course, opponents say this isn't over and want a public vote (Once again, the Ethics & Elections Board told them to stuff it) or for their Congressmen/women to do something (Not likely, no one has shown any sign of giving a damn), and
Quote :
"God's war has just started," Bob King, a community activist who lives in Northeast (A D.C. district -Lapin), said a few minutes after the vote. "Shame on them. We're going to get to the ballot box through either the courts or the Congress. So tell everyone: Don't let marriage licenses start flowing."
Stick it up your jumper you jackass. Because me and people like me are going to do everything we can to get this through. And you can kiss my ass.

Excellent news; I'm afraid to hope that this is true until it actually is. When is the earliest that Fenty can or will sign?
