The bill's purpose was to prohibit the issuance of any federal spousal rights to same-sex couples (including tax and pension benefits, social security, and immigration rights). The latter separated thousands of Americans from their foreign spouses. Look at some of the YES votes: https://t.co/iY5K4On8v8 — PolitiTweet.org

The Defense of Marriage Act, declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2013, was a pernicious law. It's what barred me from living with my husband in the US for a full decade. People forget how bipartisan it was: signed into law by Clinton, it passed the Senate by 85-14. https://t.co/bO0cqXzokl — PolitiTweet.org

Even worse was the provision permitting states that barred same-sex marriages from ignoring -- treating as nullities -- the legal marriages of same-sex couples from other states. Yet polling just a few years later showed broad support among Dems and GOP for full equal rights. — PolitiTweet.org
