The above video, which can be found on Rep. Jerrold Nadler’s YouTube channel, shows him introducing a bill to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act or DOMA, which was signed into law by President Clinton during the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” 90’s.
Nadler is joined by the bill’s sponsors, which include Reps. Barney Frank, Tammy Baldwin, Jared Polis, David Cicilline, and John Conyers. They would like to repeal DOMA, a 1996 law “that discriminates against lawfully married gay and lesbian couples.”
