Maine, New York and D.C.
Maine voted down a law that would allow gay-marriage to take place in the state. The numbers were reminiscent of California’s Prop. 8 with about 87 voting for the people’s veto effort (to repeal the law) and 53 voting against it. During the same election the people legalized the use of medical marijuana.
New York’s Senate voted down the proposed gay marriage bill. This surprised many, for some of the Senators who voted against the bill claimed they would support it.
The Washington D.C. Council has approved the first draft of the proposal to allow gay marriage in D.C. Later this month will be the second vote, then it will go to Fenty for approval. Afterwards it will go to Congress for approval.
