legalization of same-sex marriage

User:Nursenut has removed "expected" (along with reference formatting of the WaPo source) in the description of same-sex marriage in D.C.; but, although the D.C. Council passed legislation to legalize same-sex marriage, it's not technically legal until the congressional 30-day-review has passed. If Congress doesn't interfere, and once Mayor Fenty signs the legislation, same-sex marriage will then become legalized. Until that occurs, "expected" should remain in this article.

"Expected" is no longer needed as the legistlation passed with a veto proof majority and as Congress did not interfere in the previous legistlation is unlikely to in this instance, so while it is not technically legal, it is factually legal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nursenut (talk • contribs) 19:06, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

The key word is "unlikely". I agree Congress is unlikely to interfere with the legislation, but encyclopedias should not predict what may or may not happen. Once it's technically legal – U.S. legal issues are always technical – the wording can be updated. APK whisper in my ear 00:23, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Josué L. Barbosa (talk) 03:27, 17 December 2009 (UTC) Please read the NY Times article writte 12/15/09 http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/16/us/16marriage.html?_r=1. They too use the terminology that it is legalized. So if I add quotes and the reference to this article, you should not have an objection as it will be quoting a news source which is acceptable.Josué L. Barbosa (talk) 03:27, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

No, they don't. The New York Times article says (emphasis mine), "The City Council passed a measure Tuesday legalizing same-sex marriage, making the nation’s capital the first jurisdiction below the Mason-Dixon Line to allow such unions. The bill, which passed by an 11-to-2 vote, may still face obstacles in Congress, among city voters and in the courts, but most advocates of same-sex marriage say they expect it to become law by spring. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty has said he will sign the bill....Opponents have vowed to overturn the bill by putting it to a referendum or by working with Congress, which has a month to review the measure once it is signed."

Please read District of Columbia home rule. APK whisper in my ear 03:58, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

The first line states "The City Council passed a measure Tuesday legalizing same-sex marriage, making the nation’s capital the first jurisdiction below the Mason-Dixon Line to allow such unions." There is it, not expects, but a done deal. The rest is what can prevent it from happening. It is legal, it just can't be practiced.Josué L. Barbosa (talk) 00:06, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

I don't know if you're a resident of Washington, D.C., but in case you aren't, Congress has ultimate jurisdiction over our city. I'm not sure why you're in such a rush to remove the word 'expected', but luckily, there is no deadline on Wikipedia. Until Congress reviews the legislation, same-sex marriages performed in Washington, D.C. are not legal. I've quoted The New York Times article, which explains the legal process, so there's no reason to remove 'expected'. APK whisper in my ear 00:44, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Regardless of my residence, I understand the process in DC. I do not understand your issue with my removal of the word. Marriage has been leaglized in the District. This is cannot be in dispute. Enforcement is delayed due to the process unique to DC, and my removal of the word is in good company.Josué L. Barbosa (talk) 20:30, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
