BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T NADE THE 2010 MIDTERM ENOUGH LIKE 1994 YET?:

Lawmakers Push to Repeal Defense of Marriage Act (Rick Klein, September 14, 2009, ABC News: The Note)

A group of more than 70 lawmakers tomorrow will launch a push to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, the 1996 law that bars the federal government from recognizing gay marriages.

Backers of the measure hope the bill introduction will quicken the pace of repeal efforts in Congress. President Obama has said he supports the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act, though the administration has come under fire for moving slowly on this issue and other gay-rights initiatives.


Talk about queering your own pitch.
