Griffin: Voice of Arkansas Voters on Marriage Still Stands

Statement

Date: June 26, 2013
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Marriage Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

Congressman Tim Griffin (AR-02) issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that strikes down Section 3 of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (P.L. 104-199):

"I disagree with today's ruling, but it should be noted that it addresses eligibility for federal protections and responsibilities and doesn't affect the decision by the overwhelming majority of Arkansans to define marriage as the union between a man and a woman. The voice of Arkansas voters on marriage still stands."
