WASHINGTON, DC---Same-sex couples can now wed at the Washington National Cathedral, according to an email sent by the dean of the cathedral and a later report from the Associated Press. The church will be among the first Episcopal congregations to implement a new rite of marriage for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender members, according to the AP. The AP spoke with the dean, the Very Rev. The cathedral has hosted many national religious gatherings, including a recent service following the death of Sen. Daniel Inouye. The cathedral claims its place in history as the location of Martin Luther King Jr.'s final Sunday sermon in 1968 and President George W. Bush's speech at the National Day of Prayer and Remembrance service on September 14, 2001.[link]
