The fight occurring over legal recognition of same-sex marriages effects could have an effect on the Defense Department.

Under the DOMA, or the Defense of Marriage Act, marriage is the unioin between one man and one woman.

Today I read an article in the Washington Post about the issue of gay rights. I was surprised to find out about all the past Democratic presidents who put in place policies not support same-sex marriage. President Obama has not only lifted the "dont ask/dont tell" policy but has also made the Justice Department stop defending the DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act), which was put in to law by former President Clinton.

Studies have also shown that children of homosexual parents are much more likely to engage in homosexual behavior as adults, which carries with it extraordinary dangers to their physical and mental health." He, as well as many others, do not believe gay parenting to be safe for the child, but rather the extreme opposite - harmful.
