House Dems Working to Repeal Gay-Marriage Law

Bill seeks to repeal DOMA, extend benefits to same-sex couples

By Jane Yager| Posted Sep 14, 09 10:10 AM CDT|

(Newser) – A group of three House Democrats, two of them gay, are slated to unveil a bill this week that would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, the 1996 law that defines marriage as a man-woman union and blocks same-sex couples from getting full benefits, the Hill reports. DOMA has frustrated White House attempts to expand domestic partner benefits for same-sex couples.

When gay leaders blasted President Obama for excluding full domestic partner health benefits from his federal worker benefit package earlier this year, Obama said DOMA made it legally impossible for him "to provide same-sex couples with the full range of benefits enjoyed by heterosexual couples," and reiterated his call for the law's repeal.

I hope it goes through too guys! It will cost the Dems an additional 10-12 seats among the Blue Dogs. This is shaping up to be one fine mid-term election. You lefties go ahead and run for re-election on your far left aganda and watch as you lose the Senate, 23-64 House seats and all the State House races for Gov. It is going to be a blow out. All Republicans have to do is shine a spotlight on this far left agenda which runs counter to the moderate stance of most independent and middle of the road voters.

Thanks BleeBloo. I am a raging heterosexual, but homosexuals do not threaten me or my sexuality. Saying that gays getting married will destroy the institution of marriage is like saying giving blacks or women the right to vote will destroy democracy. Unreal. The far left agenda runs counter to the 'moderate' stance? What moderate stance does the GOP take? What about Limbaugh? The moderate voices of the GOP are drowned out by the nutjobs. No one's speaking against them.

Those who believe homosexuality is immoral are ignorant. Most point to several passages in the Bible that they say equates being gay with sinning. Unfortunately, they're reading the wrong language. You have to go back to the original text, whether that be in Hebrew or Greek. You'll see that what we see in English translations is not the same as the original language.

@unaffiliated: Sorry, but I gotta call you on that one. The Bible refers to homosexuality as an abomination, which in hebrew is "To-ebah To-ebah", which translated means, morally or concretely abhorrent.

@I hate to say: "homosexual" is the word ???? (saris), commonly translated "eunuch". Now I see where you may be trying to lead with this. Your argument will be that the bible is talking about eunuchs, and not homosexuals. However note the reference to homosexuality is done without using the modern word "homosexual" or the old hebrew word "saris". The bible clearly states: Lev 18:22 Thou (men) shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Now, you may agree or disagree with the Bible, and I'm not arguing the validity of the Bible, but I am at least insistent upon what it is actually saying.

@ Rightthing, Regarding Jefferson, NOT much of a Christian-"As you say of yourself, I too am an Epicurian. I consider the genuine (not the imputed) doctrines of Epicurus as containing everything rational in moral philosophy which Greece and Rome have left us. -Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Short, Oct. 31, 1819 And so it's clear, the most famous of Epicurean quotes-"God either wants to eliminate bad things and cannot, or can but does not want to, or neither wishes to nor can, or both wants to and can. If he wants to and cannot, then he is weak - and this does not apply to god. If he can but does not want to, then he is spiteful - which is equally foreign to god's nature. If he neither wants to nor can, he is both weak and spiteful, and so not a god. If he wants to and can, which is the only thing fitting for a god, where then do bad things come from? Or why does he not eliminate them?" I know we will never agree that Man is not separate from other mammals, as you seem clearly to reject the scientific explanations for how we developed. That's fine with me. As for the constitution being based on Judo law, please provide some links backing your statements, I have seen a great deal of evidence otherwise and will provide links if you'd like. Thanks.

Only you far left wing nuts could equate gay marriage as an equal right.

While many conservatives are open (in fact insist upon) to civil unions and the general protection of gays under law, marriage is between a man and woman, by most defintion and is not up to debate between people of the same marriage. But hey, if you lefties are so sure of your position, lets all agree to put this up to a popular vote, state by state! What do you democrat vote counting loving spike the ballot box with illegal alien voters democrat socialists say? What??? You want WHAT?

First off, it is not between a man and a woman. It is between a man, a woman, God(assuming you believe), and the state. Because the state is involved, it IS a matter of social or civil rights. Want the state out of the equation? I doubt it. Otherwise, it involves a legal contract with the state. In fact, with the tax advantages involved, it could be interpreted as kind of socialistic...and I thought you claimed to be a Constitutionalist? Doesn't the Constitution guarantee equal rights for all Americans, regardless of how "popular" it may be?

While it's true that nothing uttered by Jesus as recounted in the New Testament gospels condemns homosexuality, it is condemned in the Old Testament, and also by St. Paul. Does this justify gay bashing and homophobia? I don't think so. But, then, I don't think one should use ancient writings that some MORTAL FALLIBLE human beings have declared to be authored by the immortal creator of the universe, as a guide to morality. Reply

Are we in Iran or America? Our freedom is not dependent upon our religion.....or is it? If repuglicans and pseudo-christians continue to use their religion to fight against everyone having the same privileges and freedoms, they are not patriots and they are not for freedom. It's that simple. Freedom for all or none. It's not freedom if it is limited to certain people and it does not matter whether you like it or not or whether you agree with it or not. It is nothing but logic. Just good ol' fashioned logic that what is legal for one adult to do should be illegal for all adults to do. Any law that prohibits one person from doing what another person is not prohibited to do is discrimination. Laws should apply the same to all people across the board. I am an adult and I am gay. If a law states I cannot get married, but you can, that is discrimination, PERIOD. It doesn't matter what your bible says since your bible is not our constitution. Perhaps you should all move to Iran or Iraq since your beliefs more closely parallel theocratic countries. Reply

It's about marriage and benefits. Marriage \Mar"riage\, n. 1. The act of marrying, or the state of being married; legal union of a man and a woman for life, as husband and wife; wedlock; matrimony. [1913 Webster] If same-sex couples are united, they can't be called married and follow this definition. Unless you can rewrite Webster, another name for gay unions must be used, like gay union. Then, the debate on benefits can commence. Reply
