The Advocate has learned that Democratic representative Jerrold Nadler of New York will be introducing legislation to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act next Tuesday. A Democratic aide confirmed that a press conference to announce the bill will be held September 15 at 11 a.m. at the House Triangle.
The source said the bill currently has just over 50 cosponsors, but Congressman Nadler’s office has not yet officially circulated a letter to his fellow House members.
Mark your calendars folks. Let's hope the number of co-sponsors will grow much larger after Nadler circulates his letter soliciting support.
Once it's introduced, the President no longer has any excuse NOT to act on DOMA.
