D.C. City Council Votes To Legalize Gay Marriage

CNN reports that the "Washington City Council voted Tuesday to legalize same-sex marriage in the nation's capital. The bill will be given to Mayor Adrian Fenty, who has expressed his support and vowed to sign the bill. If the mayor signs it, Congress will have 30 days to intervene before it would take effect. It is considered unlikely that the Democratic majority on Capitol Hill will block the bill. Tuesday's second vote was needed to send the measure to Fenty. The council passed the bill in an 11-2 vote December 1." Tweet
