Demand that President Obama Stops Defending DOMA

President Obama had a chance to take a strong stance against the Defense of Marriage Act – and he blew it, going back on his promise to repeal the discriminatory law.

In a recent California Federal Court challenge filed by a couple married in California, President Obama's Justice Department filed a brief supporting DOMA and justifying discrimination in government benefits against legally married same-sex couples.

Enough is enough.

Demand that President Obama stop defending DOMA and instruct the Department of Justice to take any and all actions to support its repeal.

Demand President Obama push for complete equality for LGBT Americans, as he promised during his campaign.

We have been promised too much and have waited too long.

Send a letter using EQCA’s Action Center and it will be delivered immediately to President Obama.

President Obama has let us down. He can still fix this mistake, but he must act fast. Make sure he knows you want full equality now.

Please forward to everyone you know.

In solidarity,
