D.C. Council Votes to Recognize Married Same-Sex Couples

The news keeps getting better:

The Washington, D.C. Council voted today to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. Like Vermont. And Iowa. And Massachusetts. And Connecticut.

The Washington Post reports that the Council will likely take a final vote on the legislation next month. Congress must then approve—meaning the outcome is far from certain. Still, it’s a step in the right direction.

  1. If I already have a civil union in Vermont, but live in say….Alabama….can I just “opt in” and get an updated certificate you think?
