- Republicans poised to reaffirm opposition to marriage equality
Republican Party subcommittees have reportedly approved party platform language that criticizes the Obama administration's decision not to defend the Defense of Marriage Act, and supports a "constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman." The language still must be approved by the full GOP committee today, and by delegates at the GOP convention in Tampa next week. BuzzFeed (8/20)

GOP platform addresses LGBT community, group says: Certain
language included in the Republican Party's national platform is meant
to signal the party's support for LGBT Americans, according to R. Clarke
Cooper, the director of Log Cabin Republicans. A GOP delegate who
supports marriage equality proposed the language "We embrace the
principle that all Americans have the right to be treated with dignity
and respect," Cooper said. Metro Weekly (Washington, D.C.)/Poliglot
