[Baptist Press] 12 Aug 2008--In a major victory for homosexual activists, the 2008 proposed Democratic Platform goes on record as opposing the Defense of Marriage Act, a law passed in 1996 that gives states protections from being forced to legalize "gay marriage."

The platform also for the first time calls for overturning the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, which prevents homosexuals from serving openly. Additionally, it repeats the party's support for the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide.
