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.

Somewhere, Fred Phelps is crying, and he doesn't know why.
