White House spokesman Shin Inouye has issued the following response to North Carolina’s proposed anti-gay marriage amendment.
“The President has long believed that gay and lesbian couples deserve the same rights and legal protections as straight couples,” Inouye said.
“That’s why he has called for repeal of the so-called ‘Defense of Marriage Act’ and determined that his Administration would no longer defend the constitutionality of DOMA in the courts. He has also said that the states should determine for themselves how best to uphold the rights of their own citizens.”
