A member of the Log Cabin Republicans, which is taking part in the national party’s platform drafting process for the first time this year, said the document will continue to endorse the Defense of Marriage Act and a federal constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage.
“You’re still going to see stuff on the federal amendment. You’re going to see stuff affirming DOMA,” said Casey Pick, programs director of the Log Cabin Republicans and a member of the group’s delegation to the platform committee. The committee began meeting to finalize the platform Monday in Tampa, Fla., where the national convention will take place next week.
Pick said it should come as “no surprise” that the platform, which endorsed DOMA and the federal marriage amendment in 2008, would include the items in 2012. Full story here!
