You would think that DC has far more important things to worry about and solve not to mention a City Councilman who can't stop getting arrested. Instead, one councilman's obsession (just happens to be gay) is driving the entire city's political agenda. Pretty sad actually.

It's overdue, I'm pleased that D.C.joins the ranks in recognizing equal rights.

Gee, thanks for continuing to destroy our country DC!

Gay Marriage is here to stay.

And since we are honoring a possible pedophile, soon pedophilia will be acceptable too.

good call ,,, the city of murders and welfare ,,, what else would you exspect from this lawless cess- a -pool of crime , povery and ignorence....

"I'm so proud of the residents of the nation's capital for knowing what it means to be progressive and to take care of the citizens."

What you don't know is that the residents were denied the opportunity to say anything about it. The DC council took extreme measures to keep this initiative away from the voting booth. This act has nothing to do with "residents".

It's too sad what is happening to our country. Our local and national governments are being accepting of all the junk in our country because they are not willing to be accountable and fight the good fight for moral victory and ethical standards. Still, a day of accounting will come along as the USA is marching quickly into the sewers from our previously long-held laws and standards.

Well whoop de doo doo

He-he-he . . . look at all the Republican heads spinning! I love it!

Cool! BTW, what happened to that law stating that if you live with the same partner for over 6 years, you're legally married? A lot of gay and lesbian couples have been together for 10 or more years.

Yay! Giant leaps for mankind!

Never in the state of Texas. Let me repeat NEVER in Texas.

Does this mean that Congressional exploitation of pages is recotgnized also?

Whatever.

Ironic, though. They will recognize unions performed elsewhere, but won't sanction them in their own jurisdiction.

Okaaaaaayyyyy.... that makes sense.....

Nice to see more and more parts of our country moving away from Bronze age superstitious nonsense and embracing equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation.

If Texas can get off their hides and let the community of Gays and Lesbians get hitched, then maybe we can be in peace. I was once a preachy Republican, but after all the crap Bush left us, I became a more fun-loving, softer Independent. I say to Perry: "Let my gay friends have love!" I'm not gay, but we need equal rights in the USA! PERIOD!

now the remaining states must follow. equality for ALL!

Way to go DC!

I can't believe this is even in question. We're acting like it's the 1600's.

Why on earth a state (or DC for that matter) would deny a legal contract to two adults just because some people don't like their matching private parts is ludicrous. Excluding some people due to religious reasons is discriminatory.

Little by little, One drop at a time the old guard of Republican bible thumping tired old men and women are dieing off. Thank you God. Soon, just perhaps there will be equality in the USA for all people regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation. Just perhaps idiotic morons like Benny Hinn will die leaving a world free from the Republican con men who use fear and lies to gain their own greedy ends.

This passed 12 to 1, with Marion Barry being the only one to vote against. Marion freakin Barry!

Way to stand up for morality, Mr. Barry. Way to stand on your soap box and preach your version of the Bible and condemn others who don't agree with you, while you turn around and snort cocaine and stalk ex girlfriends when the cameras aren't looking. Oh wait...the FBI's undercover cameras WERE looking when you did that!

Snap!

It's a step in the right direction, but there is still so far to go!

Isn't progress a wonderful thing! It's MUCH nicer than the Dark Ages!

How sad it is to think that in this day and age some people just don't get it. All men and women are created equal. We all have three unalienable rights – the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (weren't our forefathers insightful?) We all should have the right to live. And we all should have the right to be free. Why on earth shouldn't everybody have the right to pursue happiness? If marrying someone you love brings you complete happiness, what difference does it make to anyone else if the two people in question are of the same gender?

That is sick!

what DC does is of very little signifigance

they re-elect Marion Barry for goodness sake

the druggie / stalker Marion Barry

how smart can that electorate be?

I'm so proud of the residents of the nation's capital for knowing what it means to be progressive and to take care of the citizens.

Guess empathy grows from living among all those glorious words of the true patriots – those that devoted their lives a government to ensure TRULY the rights of the individual and the real meaning of equality.

Now if only the DC residents had true representation in Congress, which the body of Congress could do something about.

Now, if we could just get The President of the United States of America, Barrack Obama to be an equal rights activist we can really get something done!

it'S ABOUT tIME.

AWESOME!

hahahaha...eat that GOPers...."oh noes, we're all gonna be turned into pillars of salt...waaaaaah waaaaaah"...zip it

It's starting to become evident that eventually all states will recognize same sex marriages/unions.

Awright, who is next in the list of gay supporters? We haven't got all day, you know!
