LGBT rights in the District of Columbia : ウィキペディア英語版 | LGBT rights in the District of Columbia
The establishment of LGBT rights in the District of Columbia is a relatively recent occurrence, with the majority of advances in LGBT rights taking place in the past century. Along with various American states, the District of Columbia recognizes marriage of same-sex couples. The percentage of households in the District of Columbia based on same-sex couples in 2008 was at 1.8%, the highest in the nation.〔 Under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act 1973, all laws passed by the Council of the District of Columbia and signed by the Mayor of the District of Columbia, are subject to a mandatory 30 day "Congressional review" by US Congress. Only then after the 30 day Congressional review, the US Congress formally approves that law — then they become effective in the District of Columbia. ==Law regarding same-sex sexual activity== Same-sex sexual activity was decriminalized in 1981 but the decision was quickly overturned by the United States Congress. A successful legislative repeal of laws criminalizing same-sex sexual activity followed in 1993.
