Durham (NC) City Council Issues Pro-Marriage Equality Resolution

The resolution states: "The City Council of the City of Durham endorses and supports the rights of same sex couples to share fully and equally in the rights, responsibilities and commitments of civil marriage."

Last night, when the resolution unanimously passed, without discussion, the City Council received a standing ovation from much of the packed audience.

While the resolution does not have any effect on the law, it's symbolic passing will not go without notice within North Carolina's GLBT community.
