Gay Marriage law takes effect in Washington
Hours after the US Supreme Court threw out a last-minute petition to block a law allowing same-sex marriage in the US capital, scores of couples packed a courthouse here Wednesday to apply for marriage licenses. he US Supreme Court had late Tuesday thrown out a petition filed by opponents of gay marriage, clearing the way for gay couples to apply for licenses to wed as soon as the courthouse opened its doors Wednesday. The high court also refused a last-minute request to hold a referendum on gay marriage but said the petitioners might be able to pursue a ballot initiative under the city charter to repeal the act.
Couples celebrate the new law
"I would say that you can't take away our love. What we have today is bigger than the law" says a Asian American gay couple.
"We are excited to be a part of the history"
