The New Prop 8

This looks like Prop 8 all over again:

Gay activists are disputing claims by angry ministers that a majority of city residents would rise up in opposition to the D.C. City Council’s 12-1 vote Tuesday to approve a bill that allows the city to recognize same-sex marriages from other states and countries...

Council member and former D.C. mayor Marion Barry (D-Ward 8) was the only Council member to vote against the bill, saying he has supported gay rights in his more than 30 years in politics but could not bring himself to vote for a measure that “goes against my moral compass"...

Barry’s comments came after more than a dozen black ministers and members of their churches in D.C. and Maryland rushed out of the Council chamber following the vote and shouted their disapproval of the Council’s action.

It's no wonder the Obama's have found picking a home church so problematic.
