BREAKING: D.C. Council (Officially) OKs Out-of-State Gay Marriage
Despite Councilman Marion Barry’s antics, the Washington D.C. City Council officially approved a bill to recognize same-sex marriages from other states in a 12-1 vote. The bill now heads to pro-gay Mayor Adrian Fenty, who’s expected to sign it. Congress, which has the power to overturn D.C.’s self-governing rules, then has 30 days to opt to veto; otherwise, it becomes law.
Yay for DC! Nay to Marion Barry’s batsh*t crazy.
Oh, it’s even better than that. According to the Washington Post, they had to take the vote twice this morning because Marion got confused about what was being voted on and he voted for it. He then asked for a revote so he could vote against it.
His two remaining brain cells only run into each other occasionally…
