DC: Gay Marriage Licenses Likely Available March 3rd

The projected start date of gay marriages in Washington has slipped by a day. The city now says March 3, a Wednesday, will likely be the first day same-sex couples can apply for a marriage license in the city.

The D.C. City Council passed a law in December that allows the unions, but because the city is under Congress' control the bill doesn't take effect until it has undergone a 30-day Congressional review period. Congress could act to stop the bill from taking effect, though that doesn't appear likely.

Congress wasn't in session on one day, Feb. 12, that district officials thought it would be, lengthening by a day the time until same-sex couples can marry.
