The D.C. law was passed in early October.  It has a

section that provides that no church or clergy member

will be required to perform gay marriages if that violate

their beliefs. They can also refuse to allow their facilities

and services to be used for gay marriages.There is a

movement nationwide to legalize same-sex marriages. 

This is opposed by  conservative groups who say it will 

have an adverse impact on children and people of faith. 

Five states now have gay marriage  laws, Maine overturned

its same sex law in a November referendum.   New York

and New Jersey last year refused to pass such laws.
