In response to the minority voices of those calling for the repeal of the Federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), Mathew Staver, Founder of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law, released the following statement: “The sovereignty of each state to preserve the integrity of marriage must be maintained. Marriage as the union of one man and one woman is the first foundation of a stable and healthy government. Same-sex unions would establish the unwise policy of saying that children do not need moms and dads. The federal Defense of Marriage Act preserves state sovereignty and prevents one state from rewriting the definition of marriage for every other state. DOMA was passed overwhelmingly by a bipartisan Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton. It is an extreme position to advocate the repeal of DOMA.”

There are 30 states which have passed marriage amendments protecting marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Many more states have passed laws that expressly reaffirm marriage as one man and one woman.
