The White House Statement on the New York marriage vote:
“The president has long believed that gay and lesbian couples deserve the same rights and legal protections as straight couples,” [White House spokesperson Shin] Inouye said. “That’s why he has called for repeal of the so-called ‘Defense of Marriage Act’ and determined that his administration would no longer defend the constitutionality of DOMA in the courts. The states should determine for themselves how best to uphold the rights of their own citizens. The process in New York worked just as it should.”
Inouye issued the statement via e-mail in response to an inquiry from the Washington Blade.
Cuomo for President.
