A claim of "DOMA destroying legislation" making its way through Congress comes not as an optimistic pronouncement from GLBT equality groups seeking to secure marriage equality for gay and lesbian families, but rather as a cry of alarm from anti-gay blogger Peter Labarbera, who runs the GLBT-bashing site Americans for Truth About Homosexuality.
A Dec. 17 article at anti-gay religious site OneNewsNow says that the Domestic Partnership Benefits and Obligations Act, which provides family benefits for gay and lesbian employees of the federal government, is "a back-door attempt to achieve federal recognition of same-sex 'marriage,'" and quotes Labarbera as saying, "This appears to be a violation of the spirit and the law of DOMA."
