DC Council to Introduce Same Sex Marriage Bill

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...?hpid=newswell

Fortunetly congress is distracted by actually important things. But already my local republican congressman Frank Wolf says he is against it. Honestly, when will DC residents wake up and realize they have no reason to be lorded over? It's not about gay marriage it's about integrity of law. And being in charge of your own destiny to the same amount that other jurisdictions are.

Why should someone who only waltzes in and works in the Downtown office then goes home have a say in what goes in a place where people have been living for generations? It's just not fair, unless DC-BASED opposition mounts against it no one should have a say in the private lives of otherwise decent DC citizens.

Im from suburban DC but are bitten by this too with the funding for our Metro rail system. We have to fenangle with people from Montana who never use the damn thing for money! It's not fair (although this is slightly different in legal troubles than the DC bill which is more flagrantly unjust in my opinon).
