Home to a large gay population, DC has long tried to walk the fine line between being able to accomodate its residents and appeasing the federal government that oversees the running of the city. (Congress has the right to overturn DC laws when it so desires.)
It was rumored in the last few years that the District administration would be open to recognizing same-sex marriages performed elsewhere but that it feared doing so would bring retribution from a right-wing Congress.
This article, “Married D.C. Gay Couples Can File Taxes Jointly,” would seem to indicate that the city is trying to find a quiet, back-door approach to doing so. My fingers are crossed for Edward and Richard that their filing is successful.
