Opposition to Marriage Equality in D.C. on Republican Agenda for 112th Congress

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee (RSC), said he will be pursuing legislation that would eradicate marriage equality in Washington D.C. Jordan was the lead sponsor of the so-called D.C. Defense of Marriage Act, which attracted 53 co-sponsors in the Democrat-led 111th Congress. The initiative is expected to garner further support  now that the House of Representatives is dominated by a Republican majority. Along with other opponents of marriage equality, Jordan recently signed his name to a legal brief that challenges the D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics decision denying a ballot initiative that would outlaw marriage equality. The Religious Freedom and Civil Marriage Equality Amendment Act, which upholds marriage equality in Washington D.C., was passed in 2009 under then-Mayor Adrian Fenty.  Related Media Coverage:The Hill - January 25, 2011"GOP to Push for D.C.
