Democratic Party platform to include marriage equality

gaywrites:

Congressman Barney Frank confirmed to The Advocate yesterday that the Democratic Party will affirm its support for marriage equality as part of its official platform, which is currently being drafted. 

Frank said the committee working on the platform voted unanimously to include its stance on marriage equality. The full platform committee will consider the move next month, culminating in the Democratic National Convention.

Frank, who married his partner last month, brushed back a report from The New York Post last week that suggested he had been hedging in his support for including marriage equality in the platform. He said that whether or not to include the plank had always been a matter of how “specific” the conversation became. 

“If it got into specifics, marriage equality should be included, and since it’s getting into specifics, marriage equality will be included, and I’m for that,” he said. “We are including marriage equality with my full support.”

SO COOL. Talk about support from the big leagues.
