The Human Rights Campaign hosted the weddings of three same-sex couples in D.C. on Tuesday, some of the first to take advantage of the Religious Freedom & Civil Rights Equality Amendment Act. Angelisa Young and Sinjoyla Townsend, Reggie Stanley and Rocky Galloway, and Rev. Elder Darlene Garner and Rev. Lorilyn Candy Holmes, exchanged rings and vows before family, friends, local politicians and the national press.
