"The D.C. Council voted today to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states, on the same day that Vermont became the fourth state to legalize same-sex unions.
Domestic partnerships are already legal in the nation's capital, and gay couples married in other states are recognized as domestic partners when they move to the city. But today's legislation, billed as an important milestone in gay rights, explicitly recognizes them as married couples."
OMG! I'm having a gay-rights-gasm

I may be wrong but this may be symbolic. The Constitution gives great powers to Congress in matters concerning the District of Columbia (Art.I Sec. 8).

You are right. That is why this is such an interesting development. The D.C. Council is going to force the congress to vote on marriage.
