MikeThis morning, Adrian Fenty, Mayor of Washington, DC signed the gay marriage bill into law. Last week the DC Council passed the piece of legislation, and today is another step closer to same-sex couples legally getting married. Said Fenty,
“We’ve set the tone for other jurisdictions to follow in creating an open and inclusive city.”
The next step is a mandatory 30 legislative days of Congressional review. If Congress does not block the bill, couples may start getting married in early 2010.
