Federal appeals court rules against Defense of Marriage Act

Every time it is put to a vote, it loses, so once again activist judges are forcing same-sex 'marriage' on society.
Its not as much about rights as it is redefining what marriage is.  Same-sex couples already have domestic partnerships and civil unions.  They don't need to redefine marriage (and the family) to achieve 'equality'.


A federal appeals court struck down a key portion of the federal Defense of Marriage Act in a New York case, renewing calls for the U.S. Supreme Court to consider the issue of “same-sex marriage.”

“This is yet another example of judicial activism and elite judges imposing their views on the American people,” said Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage in an Oct. 18 statement responding to the ruling.

He said that the court decision “further demonstrates why it is imperative for the U.S. Supreme Court to grant review in the currently pending DOMA cases as well as to the Proposition 8 case.”

“The American people are entitled to a definitive ruling in support of marriage as the union of one man and one woman, as 32 states have determined through popular vote," he said.
