Gay marriage: Boehner's bigotry

  James --
I was proud when the Obama administration stopped defending the discriminatory “Defense of Marriage Act” (DOMA) after the Justice Department concluded that the law was unconstitutional. It is imperative that all Americans receive equal protection under the law -- including our LGBT men and women in uniform and their spouses.

That's why I was shocked to hear that Speaker John Boehner decided to use our tax dollars to intervene and stand up for DOMA to deny LGBT Americans the rights they deserve.

This is discrimination -- plain and simple.

Stand with me and tell Speaker Boehner to stop Defending Discrimination today.

It's not enough that Speaker Boehner continues to be wrong when it comes to equal rights -- his legal action to defend DOMA will cost taxpayers $1.5 million!

We can't afford to waste taxpayer money on Boehner’s bigotry.

Will you add your name to our petition to tell Speaker Boehner to Stop Defending Discrimination Today?

In Solidarity,

Brandon
