The Respect for marriage act was re-introduced yesterday in both the Senate and the House, by the Democrats and one lone Republican. The Bill was first introduced in 2009, BEFORE the SCOTUS decided on section 3.

Most of DOMA is still in place, and needs to be repealed through the Legislature. With the heavily Republican House and Senate currently seated, there will be slow, if any, progress on the bill.

While I am glad that Senator Feinstein (democrat california) continues to fight for us, I personally feel it will take the SCOTUS to bring marriage to all states, and to put a stop to all of the discrimination allowed in jobs, housing and other areas of importance in our lives.
