I just got this e-mail from the HRC, and I don't quite understand what it means.

Dear Friend,

Marriage equality has passed in Washington, D.C.!

But the Catholic Archdiocese of Washington has threatened to cut social services, in protest.

Tell DC's Archbishop: don't use the homeless and needy as political pawns!

Great news today: marriage equality has just passed in Washington, D.C.!

It's a huge victory, and you should be proud
 
It means only the District of Columbia is legalizing it. There's no way it would be that easy for all of America to legalize it.

Unless Obama dips his hands in this.

Well Obama can't do whatever he wants. It has to go to the law and everything else. So if people agree that gay marriages can't be allowed then there is a possible doubt no other states will ever equal rights.

Technically, he's worked it to where he can. Remember? There isn't much of a balance in congress anymore. 3/4 of them are democrats.

Obama has no say in it. Marriage is defined by the state governments, not the national, so its up to each respective state to decide whether to legalize it or not, hence some states legalizing it while others don't. It's only a matter of time before it's legal in all states, but it's gonna take a while.

Yeah, it's an uphill battle, but eventually it will be legal everywhere.

Yeah, I think once this generation (us kids now) are able to vote more and more states will start legalizing it. A lot of older people are against it but the newer generations are more open and accepting. I know when I turn 18 in 1 1/2 years I will defiantly vote to legalize it! I can't wait until the day comes that it is legal in the whole US.
