Activists not happy with RMA leaving out civil unions and domestic partnerships

Activists, especially those on the West Coast, are not happy that the Respect for Marriage Act does not cover civil union or domestic partnership.

The president has said all couples should have access to the 1,000-plus benefits and rights and privileges of marriage, so I do not know why Congress wouldn't put that on his desk. I would like to see Nadler's bill include all legally recognized unions. The president has asked for it.
