The DC City Council voted today to recognize same-sex marriages performed in states that have adopted equality laws. It’s a solid step towards DC’s bringing same-sex marriage within its own laws. There will, no doubt, be the challenge of overcoming Congress (which can overturn any DC law, no matter how petty). It’ll be an interesting illustration of 1) the Democratic Party’s commitment to equality and 2) the hollowness of the Republican Party’s supposed commitment to states’ rights.
