Last week, WE DO couple Jens and Rob met with their Congressman, David Scott (D-GA), to talk about marriage equality. In 2004 and again in 2006 Rep. Scott voted for a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
Well guess what, Rep. Scott now publicly supports marriage equality thanks in part to Jens and Rob! You can read the details of their interaction with Rep. Scott at the Joe My God blog.
Two days ago JMG reader Rob sent me this note: “Dear Joe, My partner & I met with our congressman, Rep.David Scott, yesterday and he told us that he completely supports marriage equality. He stated that he was a guest at Barney Frank’s wedding. He said that he would be willing to look at the Respect for Marriage Act as a co-sponsor if it is reintroduced in this Congress.”
Rep. Scott joins a growing list of Democrats who have switched their position on equality issues during the first half of 2013.
During January of 2013, Jens and Rob were one of 35 couples to apply for a marriage license as part of the WE DO Campaign.
