D.C. Gay Marriage Measure Set for Mayor's Signature
An overwhelming majority on the D.C. Council voted today to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states, sending the District deeper into the national debate and galvanizing supporters on both sides of the issue.

Fuck DOMA...IMO, a marriage which is legal where performed MUST be recognized in all other jurisdictions. That is the way it has ALWAYS been in regard to other family law matters, why should DOMA allow it to be different.

Bravo to DC for doing the right thing...:applause:
