A new poll by the Washington Post reveals that marriage equality is rapidly gaining support among young Republicans – people between the ages of 18 and 44. That demographic is dead-locked on marriage equality with 46% approving it and 46% disapproving it. But that's a substantial change from 2004 – when 59% of Republicans opposed marriage equality. Currently, Speaker of the House John Boehner is using taxpayer dollars to hire a lawyer to defend DOMA – the Defense of Marriage Act – which defines marriage as being exclusively between a man and a woman. Increasingly, America agrees that Boehner and today's Republican Party are on the wrong - and bigoted - side of history.
The lawyer he hired is the same one who lost the healthcare case.
