[BREAKING] Gay marriage approved in DC

Post:
In a second and final vote on the measure, the D.C. Council officially passed a bill that would legalize same-sex marriage on Tuesday afternoon. The bill awaits Mayor Adrian M. Fenty's signature -- which is expected before Christmas -- and then will go through a congressional review period. If the bill passes that hurdle, same-sex marriages could begin as early as spring 2010.
To block the legislation, the Democratic-controlled House and Senate and President Obama all would have to sign off on a disapproval resolution within 30 legislative days, which advocates say is not likely.
