Barr took a lead in legislative debate concerning same-sex marriage. He authored and sponsored the Defense of Marriage Act, a law enacted in 1996 which states that only marriages that are between a man and a woman can be federally recognized, and individual states may choose not to recognize a same-sex marriage performed in another state.
I don’t see Gingrich in this at all. Are you saying that Barr had help in writing it. I looked everywhere to find Newt’s name in many sources and it is absolutely nowhere.
This is the CNN New Hampshire debate on June 13, 2011. Newt states he helped write DOMA and stands by it.
