The D.C. Council in Washington has approved legislation that recognizes same-sex marriages performed in other states.
The vote is considered a first step toward eventually allowing gay marriages to be performed in Washington and may have national implications.
The vote kicked off fireworks in the D.C. Council. Only former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry stood against it.
David Catania, an openly gay council member, accused Barry of bigotry, saying his past support of gays didn’t matter.
“To say ‘well, I support domestic partnership or I support civil union as a way to say I’m not that big a bigot’… that’s what it is,” he said.
