DC courthouse busy with same-sex applications
Hundreds of couples applied for marriage licenses in Washington during the first week they were available to same-sex couples.
Courthouse spokeswoman Leah Gurowitz says the 466 applications received from both gay and straight couples is much higher than the 50 or so applications normally received in a week.
Couples can pick up their license three business days after applying. Tuesday was the first day couples could pick up their licenses and actually marry in the city. The district Council approved a bill making gay marriage legal late last year.
