A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on March 9, 2012, March 9, 2019, and March 9, 2020. |
The DC act recognizes SSM performed in other "jurisdictions", not just states. All the press on this says other states only. I corrected the article.
Why is "jurisdictions" in quotation marks in the article? It seems unnecessary.
Do we need a separate page for each state concerning DP? How about Domestic partnership by US state? - tdempsey 17:37, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Expansion of this is needed as the rights have expanded. I'll do it later when I have more time, but here is a possible source [1] jtowns 06:11, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't this page be renamed to "Legal Recognition of Same-Sex Relationships in the District of Columbia" or something like that to include the recent decision to recognize out-of-District SSM? The SSM sidebar also needs to be edited accordingly. Unfortunately my technical Wikipedia skills are not up to the task. Elliotreed ( talk) 18:39, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
Could anybody change title of article to Same-sex marriage in the District of Columbia? Ron 1987 ( talk) 15:40, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

"Same-sex marriage" is the wording used as neutral as the article title implies. "Homosexual marriage" is almost never used and also discounts bisexual and transgender people. Hekerui ( talk) 19:54, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
The article claims that domestic partnerships were finally implemented in 2002 when the rider mentioned was not included in the District of Columbia Appropriations Act for the year. I was looking for the date that would have become effective, and went searching for the bills before that to see when they end. However, I found that the rider was still included in both earlier and later bills:
Does this mean that domestic partnerships were only valid from October 1, 2002 to September 30, 2003, then invalid after that? There's no mention of that in the article. -- ΨΦorg ( talk) 14:06, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
