Marriage Equality Advances

The DC Agenda reports (Fenty signs marriage bill) on the enactment of the Religious Freedom & Civil Marriage Equality Amendment Act of 2009 pending congressional review.

From the article:

“My parents know a little something about marriage equality,” [Mayor Fenty] said. “They married almost 40 years ago and in a country at the time where every jurisdiction didn’t agree that an interracial couple should be married. Had they not been able to, I would not be standing here as mayor of the District of Columbia right now.”
