From CNN:
Washington (CNN) -- The Washington City Council voted Tuesday to legalize same-sex marriage in the nation's capital.
The bill was approved overwhelmingly by a vote of 11-2. The bill will be given to Mayor Adrian Fenty, who has expressed his support and vowed to sign the bill.
If the mayor signs it, Congress will have 30 days to intervene before it would take effect. It is considered unlikely that the Democratic majority on Capitol Hill will block the bill.
This will be a boost for gay rights after losing in California and Maine.

Completely. I couldn't come up with a pun that good if it were intentional.
