WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington's city council has voted to legalize gay marriage in the U.S. capital.

Mayor Adrian Fenty has promised to sign the bill, which was co-sponsored by 10 of the council's 13 members. The final vote Tuesday was 11-2.

The bill now goes to Congress, which has final say over the the capital city's laws. Opponents say they will try to get Congress or voters to overturn it.

D.C. -- isn't THAT enough for you?
