Nadler Introduces the Respect for Marriage Act which would repeal DOMA

[r1skate]

DOMA rules!

psxwarrior makes a good point: A strong separation of all religion and the State! A strong steel separation.

There is no room for superstition or religious fanaticism in our democracy. It stifles freedom.

All Churches should pay taxes since they are Lobbyists. No State regulated marriages. Anyone should be able to partner with whom they feel. Take In God We Trust off the money, out of the Courtroom and out of the classroom. It confuses the children and makes hypocrites of their parents.

I know who I won't be voting for for president. I'm sorry, but the Bible condemns homosexuality. God says one man and one woman. Their is no such thing as gay marriage. States have no right to confir what God has not instituted.

...but the United States is set up to separate church and state. You pick your religion/belief system (or none- that's okay too) and that works for you. Just don't force it on anyone else or stand in his or her way. Besides, if someone wants to live a 'condemed' life, why are you standing in their way? Do you know what's best for him/her? If folks are old enough to marry, they're old enough to decide who they want to sleep with!

[psxwarrior]

Well, that's why the government should get its greasy hands out of marriage all together. They ruin everything they get their hands on. I can't marry my girlfriend because of them. Long story.

We two husbands, Americans together in love 33 years, and married in Canada in 2003, congratulate everyone for respecting our marriage as much as we do!!!

[SpeedyBruin]

Thank you congressman. You have my respect.

What a great name for the bill Respect for Marriage Act!!! That's exactly what this bill does. It gives the respect married gay couples deserve where they are permitted to wed.

[Jeepers4Creepers2]

Awesome! Thank you!!!

THANK YOU NADLER!

[Glamdering]

About damn time! Well done! Now let's get this passed ASAP.

I am shocked that a country like America is still so backward when it comes to minority rights.

[ColbertandStewartpwn]

LOL. Then you obviously don't live here.

[greekmathician]

I'm so happy that gay married people are going to get the same federal rights heterosexual couples get. Finally equality is going to come to some parts of the country.

[PLmoms]

This is AWESOME! If this passes, my family would have equal benefits (including some disadvantages) and social status as any other family headed by a married couple!

I'm so excited!!!

Dear Nadler, I love you.
