'D.C. council votes to recognize gay marriage' [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
WASHINGTON (CNN) — The Washington D.C. City Council voted 12-1 Tuesday to recognize same-sex marriages from states that allow those unions.
Mayor Adrian Fenty has indicated he will sign the measure. It will then become law after a mandatory 30-day congressional review period if Congress fails to overturn the measure.
Former Mayor Marion Barry cast the lone dissenting vote.
