WASHINGTON — A law recognizing same-sex marriages performed in other states and countries went into effect Tuesday in the nation’s capital, and a D.C. councilman said he plans to follow up with a measure that would allow gay-marriage ceremonies in the district.
The bill was approved in a 12-1 vote by the D.C. Council in May. Congress, which has the final say over the district’s laws, had 30 days to review the legislation. Because it took no action, the bill automatically became law.
