Bob Barr: Repeal DOMA
The law that prevents the federal government from acknowledging same-sex marriages and partnerships should be repealed, former Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr wrote in the Los Angeles Times Monday.
Barr introduced the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996 when he was a Republican representative from Georgia's seventh district. He wrote in the Times opinion piece that he and President-elect Barack Obama now have the same stance on the issue -- that the law be repealed.
