Obama backs bill to repeal Defense of Marriage Act

The Washington Post: Daniel Blomberg, an attorney for the conservative Alliance Defense Fund, denounced the administration’s decision. “Our perspective is that it’s not only incorrect, but deeply disappointing, to have a politician claim support for marriage between one man and one woman on the campaign trail, then actively undermine that once in office,” said Blomberg, whose organization will testify in support of DOMA during Wednesday’s Senate hearing. “We are confident Congress will make the right decision here.”
