Meanwhile, DC recognizes marriage equality with much yelling and shouting

The DC City Council has passed a measure recognizing same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions. If the mayor signs the new ordinance, then the issue goes to Congress for review because of DC's odd status as the seat of our federal government.
After the vote, a large crowd of opponents, led by local ministers, began yelling, "Get them off the council!" referring to the members who supported the measure. The crowd caused such a ruckus that security guards and D.C. police officers had to be called in to restore order.
Once again, certain ministers embrace compassion and spread love to all they meet.
