Tony Perkins On DOMA Vote

"Today's vote disrespects Americans across the country who want to protect marriage as the union of one man and one woman - and have done as much in the 31 states who have passed statewide referenda in favor of marriage. It will also require Americans in every state to subsidize homosexual couples by using tax dollars to provide them with federal benefits. Marriage is not some prize that liberals can award to a small, vocal and already well-off special interest group. Marriage between one man and one woman was created prior to the formation of any governments and is given benefits by governments because it uniquely contributes to a productive society." - FRC president Tony Perkins.

UPDATE: Even though everybody on Capitol Hill understands that the DOMA repeal battle effectively ended today, the Family Research Council has just launched a fundraising campaign in the name of stopping it. They never miss a chance to have another old lady eating cat food, do they?
