The Defense of Marriage Act, which prevents the federal government from granting the rights to same-sex couples that married couples enjoy on the federal level, is under fire from President Obama and Congressional Democrats. Obama is no longer supporting it, and Dianne Feinstein and others are sponsoring what is being called the Respect for Marriage Act. This act would ensure that homosexuals in states where same-sex marriage is legal would be entitled to the same benefits heterosexual couples get.
I say about time! But why was this not pushed when the Democrats had control of the House and the Senate? It is obvious that the bigoted Tea Party Republican controlled House will never agree to this. However, the fact that this idea is being discussed in Congress means that it is already on it's way to being repealed, and it's only a matter of time before this occurs. I say The Tea Party bigots get behind this and actually support the freedom they incessantly talk about.
