Republicans Introduce Bill in House to Make Marriage in DC Between a Man & a Woman Only

Some lawmakers are introducing a bill in the House to define marriage in District of Columbia as between one man and one woman. Thursday's introduction of the D.C. Defense of Marriage Act comes several weeks after the city council voted to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions. Congress has until July to review the council measure, and if it takes no action the legislation becomes law. Some council members say it's the first step toward eventually allowing gay marriages to be performed in Washington. Full Story from ABC 7 - Click Here
