Six Out Of Ten Americans Say DOMA is Discrimination

A new poll finds that six out of ten Americans believe DOMA is discrimination and oppose the law that bans the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriage. Sixty-two percent of Americans believe the 1996 law is discriminatory, fifty-nine percent oppose the law, and fifty-two percent want it repealed.

In opposition to commonly-held beliefs, sixty-one percent of Blacks and sixty-two percent of Hispanics oppose DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act, along with fifty-seven percent of white Americans.
