The Ward 1 Democrats met to take their own temperature on the same-sex marriage issue last night and voted overwhelmingly in favor of marriage equality, in a vote of 137 in favor to 4 against. The outcome isn’t a big surprise, considering Ward 1’s D.C. Council member, Jim Graham, is one of two gay representatives on the council. The Democratic committees of Wards 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 have also voted in favor of supporting such legislation, while Ward 5 voted against it amid heated debate.
