(The Advocate) -- The House of Representatives Thursday voted 248-175 for Rep. Virginia Foxx's amendment to the 2012 defense authorization bill restating the Defense of Marriage Act, one of three antigay measures proposed Wednesday as amendments to the bill.
...
Rep. Dan Burton, of Indiana, introduced two other amendments to the defense spending bill Wednesday. The first would prohibit federal funds from being used to facilitate civil unions or marriage ceremonies for same-sex couples, as outlined by DOMA. The other would prevent the military from providing training on "don't ask, don't tell" repeal to personnel in combat zones.
