[...]
Clinton said he, President Obama, and Vice-President Biden are all pushing for an end to DOMA, legislation Clinton signed in 1996 that prohibited federal recognition of same-sex marriage.
"I want to keep working on this until not only DOMA is no longer the law of the land, but until all people, no matter where they live, can marry the people they love."
In the middle of that sentence, a man in the audience screamed, "You signed it!" It wasn't clear if Clinton heard the heckler.
