White House Reacts To LGBT Ire Over Doma Stance

According to TowleRoad, the Obama administration has released a statement in response to the widespread LGBT organization and blogosphere anger at the government's brief supporting DOMA:

"As it generally does with existing statutes, the Justice Department is defending the law on the books in court. The President has said he wants to see a legislative repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act because it prevents LGBT couples from being granted equal rights and benefits. However, until Congress passes legislation repealing the law, the administration will continue to defend the statute when it is challenged in the justice system."
