Violence Against Women Act Shouldn't Cover Same-Sex Couples, GOP Congresswoman Says (Huffington post)

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), the vice chairwoman of
the House Republican Caucus, said Monday that the Violence Against Women Act
(VAWA) shouldn't include protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender people because "those are side issues."

During an appearance on MSNBC's "Hardball," McMorris Rodgers was asked why the
House GOP bill to reauthorize VAWA doesn't include protections for the LGBT
community. The Senate overwhelmingly passed its version of a VAWA bill last
month that would update current law with LGBT protections, as well as
provisions protecting Native American women and undocumented immigrant women
against domestic violence. The current VAWA bill expires at the end of
September.

"Those are side issues that have been attached to this bill," McMorris Rodgers
said of the LGBT protections. "There's nothing under federal law that
currently recognizes same-sex couples. So if we're going to have that debate
in Congress, it should be a separate debate from the reauthorization of the
Violence Against Women Act."
