DC Council Passes Bill Recognizing Gay Marriages

The Washington D.C. City Council voted unanimously (and then voted again with only Marion Barry opposed) to recognize gay marriages from other jurisdictions where it is legal.

This means that U.S. couples married in California (between June and November 2008) Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa and Vermont (after September 1, 2009) will have their relationships recognized if they move to the District of Columbia.
