Tonight's Adams Morgan ANC Meeting

This evening I had the pleasure of attending the Adams Morgan ANC monthly meeting. Commissioner Stacey Moye asked that I attend as she was introducing a resolution in support of marriage equality in the District. I had reached out to many of the ANC Commissioners I've had the pleasure of working with throughout the city to promote similar resolutions following the Dupont Circle ANC's unanimous adoption of a similar resolution in February, and the Adams Morgan ANC was the most recent one to move forward with a resolution on the subject.

Stacey spoke briefly but eloquently on her motion, and had spoken to her colleagues about the initiative prior to the meeting to garner their support for the initiative. The motion called for marriage equality in the District as soon as practicable, and urged Congress to reject legislation introduced two weeks ago to quash marriage equality efforts in the District.

Her resolution passed unanimously on a roll call vote - 8 to 0. I'm so excited that marriage equality resolutions continue to march across the District. I believe at this ANCs in half of the wards have passed marriage equality resolutions, and I'll continue to work in other wards and other Commissions to help push this important initiative.

As an aside, today I helped organize a luncheon with Q Street on marriage equality, where Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, and Councilmember David Catania spoke. It was terrific and the over 250 Q Street members stand ready to help engage Congress on DC's marriage equality battle. I feel fortunate that I have the opportunity to work on such a great and important project with so many fantastic people. It's humbling.
