The Obama administration has recently made it official, it will no longer defend the constitutionality of a federal law banning recognition of same-sex marriage.
According to Attorney General Eric Holder, President Barack Obama has affirmed that the administration can’t defend the federal law that defines marriage as only between a man and a woman. He stated that the congressional debate regarding the passage of the Defense of Marriage Act “contains numerous expressions reflecting moral disapproval of gays and lesbians and their intimate and family relationships – precisely the kind of stereotype-based thinking and animus” the Constitution is designed to oppose.
