Disney Signs Letter in Support of Federal Law for Homosexual Marriage

Disney has signed a letter in support of a federal law to protect same-sex marriages after taking a drubbing this year over its response to Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law.

The Mouse House signed an open letter spearheaded by the Human Rights Campaign, urging the Senate to pass the Respect for Marriage Act, which has already passed the House.

The bill seeks to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act passed in 1996, which barred the federal government from acknowledging same-gender couples married under state law and didn’t require states to legally respect same-sex marriages performed in other states.

The Supreme Court’s 2013 ruling in US v. Windsor struck down DOMA and allowed for LGBTQ marriage. But recent statements made by Justice Clarence Thomas in his opinion that overturned Roe v. Wade suggested that the court might be looking to overturn rulings like Windsor.

Disney was one of 173 corporations that signed the letter, including Apple, Google, Sony, Amazon, NBCUniversal’s Comcast and Goldman Sachs. (Read more from “Disney Signs Letter in Support of Federal Law for Homosexual Marriage” HERE)
