By Karina
The District of Columbia’s new marriage equality law went into effect today, with gay couples able to apply for marriage licenses for the first time this morning. Speaker Pelosi:
Today marks a historic chapter in the advancement toward equality, fairness and the protections that marriage affords for all families. As we welcome marriage equality to our nation?s capital, I reiterate my longstanding commitment to home rule for the District of Columbia.
Today, the District joins other states in leading the nation in ensuring fundamental civil rights. This is a joyous moment that history will forever remember as progress.
