WASHINGTON - Gays and Lesbians are one step closer to saying "I do" in the District of Columbia and Lambda Legal wants to congratulate not only the leaders who put the law in place, but the residents who support it and will be able to take advantage of it.
Today is the first day that the new law, which expanded the definition of civil marriage to include gays and lesbians, will accept applications for a marriage license. There is a full 3 day wait period between application and issue, so no marriages will take place this week, but those submitting applications will be making history.
