Yes, however, please note that while the District of Columbia allows same-sex marriages, as well as what is referred to as "domestic partnership", civil unions are not provided for under the law in District of Columbia. If you have a specific question about same sex marriage or domestic partnership in District of Columbia, please re-submit a question.
Best of luck.******The above is for informational only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.*******
