Yesterday we reported that after an acrimonious debate, on Monday the Ward 5 Democrats voted 87-51 against endorsing any plans to legalize same-sex marriage in the District. The vote followed in the wake of the Ward 8 Democrats weekend vote in favor same-sex marriage. Yesterday, the Ward 6 Democrats chimed in, overwhelmingly siding with marriage equality in a 73-3 vote. Charles Allen, president of the Ward 6 Democrats and Chief of Staff to Council member Tommy Wells (D-Ward 6), said in a press release, “Equal and full civil rights are core principles of the Democratic Party and that was affirmed again tonight by the Ward 6 Democrats.” The Democratic committees of Ward 2 and Ward 4 have also voted to support marriage equality.
