DC Council Passes Marriage Bill in First of Two Votes

Today the Council of the District of Columbia passed a bill 11 to 2 allowing same-sex couples to marry in DC!   The council must take a second vote, which if successful will send the bill to Mayor Adrian Fenty who will have ten days to approve it...fingers crossed.
Upon his signature, Congress will have thirty legislative days to intervene if they so choose before the bill becomes law.

Follow the story as it unfolds...
