Thank you, Rep Ros-Lehtinen :thumbsup:
The effort to repeal the constitutional definition of marriage gained its first Republican supporter on Friday.
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) announced she will co-sponsor the legislation to repeal the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
“I voted against the constitutional amendment defining marriage so I’m pleased to co-sponsor the repeal of DOMA and work with my colleagues on marriage equality,” Ros-Lehtinen told The Advocate.
Ros-Lehtinen, the chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, has been an advocate of gay and lesbian rights. She pushed for the recent repeal of the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy that prevented gay and lesbian Americans from serving openly in the U.S. military.
