Homophobia and Racism in Congress

I’m not sure what I expected, but after reading my Congressman’s response to my email urging him to support GLBT legislation (which I sent before the National Equality March), I’m ticked.

After lecturing me on DOMA, he went on to say that, “When the issue of same-sex marriage has come before me in Congress, I have supported amending the U.S. Constitution to define marriage as a relationship between one man and one woman. Marriage has played a foundational role in our nation and in civilization throughout history. It is our most basic social institution, and it should be protected by law and not left subject to the whims of a particular court.” – Congressman Mike Simpson (R-ID)
