DC Councilmember David Catania at last night's marriage rally in DC
I’ll be heading off to the DC Council hearing shortly where they will take their second and final vote on the marriage equality bill (check back here for updates later this morning).
The Council first passed the bill two weeks ago, making today the last step before it’s sent to Mayor Fenty who has ten days to sign it (as he’s pledged to do). After that there are thirty legislative days where Congress has the opportunity to review the bill before it’s enacted.
Last night on the eve of the vote, supporters of marriage equality gathered in the District to show the overwhelming public support for the measure. The local NBC video is below (including HRC Back Story contributor Terry McGuire and his partner at the end!).
