but Washington D. C. City Councilman and former mayor Marion Barry has said he would support a bill legalizing same-sex marriage in the city if one is introduced in the council.
Many outside the city limits consider Barry, who did jail time after an arrest on drug charges in 1990 and has subsequently been charged with tax violations, drug posession, and DUI, an embarrasment to the city, but he still has strong support inside the lines, particularly in Ward 8 which he currently represents in the city council.
Barry has been considered a friend of the GLBT community, however, and I suppose influential friends are always good people to have on your side.
