Obama Administration moves to repeal The Defense of Marriage Act
According to the Associated Press the Obama administration filed court papers Monday, August 17, 2009 claiming the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act discriminates against homosexuals. But, in a strange twist, the Department of Justice lawyers are trying to dismiss a suit brought by a homosexual California couple challenging the DOMA. The DOMA law states that the federal government will not recognize same-sex “marriage” and gives states the right to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. Obama has pledged to work to repeal the law.
Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler said, “the administration believes the Defense of Marriage Act is discriminatory and should be repealed.” The DOJ reasons are because it prevents equal rights and benefits.
If we use president Obama’s and the DOJ reasoning, then you ought to be able to marry anyone, including a monkey! Sound ridiculous? So is same-sex marriage. God intended marriage to be between and man and a woman. And since America was founded on Christian principles, why aren’t we following them?
