D.C. City Council Votes in Favor of Gay Marriage

This post is a little late, but a historic event took place on Tuesday, Dec. 1 when the D.C. City Council voted in favor of legalizing gay marriage in the District. Mayor Adrian Fenty has pledged to sign the bill, but the measure must survive a 30-day review by Congress. If things go according to plan, then same-sex couples should be able to wed in the District by mid to late-Spring. Hopefully the prospect of "them gays" eloping in the nation's capital will make homophobic rednecks from Virginia less inclined to journey into the big city in their Ford F-150s. Chocolate City with married gay people has to be a pretty scary place for Billy Bob from Fairfax. Go America!
