Rep. Nadler introduces DOMA repeal bill; 95 GOP bigots back resolution demanding Obama defend it

Today Rep Jerry Nadler (D-NY) reintroduced the Respect for Marriage Act to repeal DOMA.

Now, as we continue the struggle for equality, the question at hand is not IF Congress will repeal DOMA but WHEN. I can imagine the day when my future grandchildren will ask, "so what was the big deal about gay marriage anyway?" But, until we get there, we must continue to fight. Please say "I DO Support the Respect for Marriage Act"; sign my petition, and stay informed about my efforts toward marriage equality for all Americans. Thank you for all that you do to make equality a reality.

On the other side of the political fence, we have a nice list of the 95 homophobes who want the President to defend DOMA. Joe @ Americablog:

The way, way too gay-obsessed freshman Congresswoman from Missouri, Vicky Hartzler, introduced a resolution demanding that the President defend DOMA. She's got all the real whackos on her side, of course, from Steve King to Michele Bachmann. As of this morning there are 94 co-sponsors. This list pretty much comprises the biggest homophobes in the U.S. House of Representatives. They're all Republicans. The list is also an indication that the newly elected teabaggers are not just focused on fiscal issues. A number of the cosponsors are freshmen (for example, Sean Duffy (WI), Kristi Noem (SD), Tim Scott (GA) and many more.) So, yeah, the teabaggers are hard-core right-wingers on social issues, too.

Here's the list - NC Congresscritters below are highlighted - how many of you are represented by the homophobes here ?
