House Considers Same-Sex Partner Benefits for Federal Employees

by CitizenLink Staff

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is set to take up a bill that would allow domestic-partner benefits for federal employees.

Policy experts said the bill is an attack on the federal Defense of Marriage Act and will push America deeper into debt.

U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said he’ll fight passage of the bill.

“When you start having this kind of legislation,” he said, “you diminish the value of marriage and diminish the value of family – which hurts our culture.”
