House Republicans Allocate $3 Million to Defend Anti-Gay-Marriage Bill

HeadlineJan 18, 2013

U.S. House Republicans are continuing their fight to preserve the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, which denies federal recognition of gay marriage. The Obama administration has refused to continue enforcing it after deeming it unconstitutional, but Republicans are seeking to keep it in effect through the courts. The Huffington Post is now reporting House Republicans have allocated nearly $3 million in taxpayer funds toward their legal costs to challenge the administration in court.
