DC Clergy Organize To Oppose Same Sex Marriages

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA)--DC clergy members, claiming to represent at least 500 churches and tens of thousands of members rallied on Freedom Plaza Tuesday, across from the Wilson Building.

The ministers say they are organizing to oppose a bill given tentative approval by the DC Council that will recognize same sex marriages that are performed in States where the practice is legal.

DC doesn't have its own same sex marriage law, but David Catania, an openly gay Council member says he expects people here to get married in States where the practice is legal and then return to live in the District.

Bishop Harry Jackson, one of the organizers of today's rally put Catania and Mayor Adrian Fenty on notice saying "there will be consequences" if the Council goes through with final approval of the bill recognizing same sex marriages.
