D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty. (D.C. Government)

WASHINGTON (ABP) -- The District of Columbia Council voted overwhelmingly -- and despite vocal protests from a coalition of conservative evangelicals and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington -- to legalize same-sex marriage in the nation’s capital Dec. 15.
By a bipartisan 11-2 vote, the city’s elected representatives gave final approval to the bill, which legalizes gay marriage but also guarantees that churches will not be forced to perform or accommodate same-sex nuptials. If Mayor Adrian Fenty (D) signs the bill into law, as he has promised, then Congress has 30 days to review the bill. Although Congress has veto power over any D.C. legislation, that would require the House, the Senate and President Obama all to agree to overturn the measure -- a prospect most political observers consider highly unlikely.
