DC Mayor Signs Marriage Recognition Bill

Today the mayor of Washington D.C. Adrian Fenty, signed the bill that allows DC to recognize same-sex marriages that were performed out of state. The life of the bill now rests in the hands of the US Congress which has power of the legislation of the district. However, according to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Congress isn't going to do anything to interfere with the bill. Basically this means that the bill is now law. Washington D.C. will now recognize all marriages performed in the 5 states where the unions are legal. And PS - ain't the mayor hot in the photo above.
