Why was DOMA passsed?

What made legislators pass DOMA?

Comments

  • religious hysteria of the recent past

    an attempt to get around the state votes for equal treatment of homosexuals and heterosexuals

    sexuality is very complicated and is mental rather than a case of "plumbing parts"

    attitudes have varied throughout all history and in all cultures

    it was common and accepted in Greece and Rome. A death penalty in the Hebrews and in Europe in the middle ages

    a confusion between secular laws and religious rules.

    apparently about 10% or so of humans and at least some animals, like primates an dolphins have sex just for fun, at any and all opportunities

    My best guess is DOMA will not stand up to SCOTUS review on the grounds of "equal protection"

  • Morals ? It use to be common sense ... Im just waiting to see on the news that some liberal is gong to the supreme court because he wants to marry his pet cat.

  • because it makes sense...?
