• Democrats back freedom to marry in platform draft
   
• A draft of the Democratic Party platform includes support for allowing same-sex couples to marry, a development that caps the party’s rapid evolution on the issue in the past few years. "The fact is, by every action that should be taken, the Democrats in Washington have repudiated DOMA,” said Rep. Barney Frank, a member of the platform drafting committee who said the vote to include support for marriage equality was unanimous. Other LGBT-related language in the draft rejects the Defense of Marriage Act and supports passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Washington Blade (7/30), The Huffington Post (7/31)
