With the Democrats having control of the White House and Congress, there won't be any federal marriage amendment moving anywhere in the next two years, and probably no time soon, if ever again. As icing on the cake, its chief sponsor in the House - Marilyn Musgrave of Colorado - was defeated last month.
So the anti-equality crew is reframing the congressional debate as one over whether to save DoMA from future efforts to repeal it. Toward that end, right wing politics now has a new web page if not a new idea. The Alliance Defense Fund has launched Protect DoMA. Aside from a northern Virginia P.O. box, Protect DoMA's chief asset appears to be a hunky Latino "model and actor" endorsing its message.
