Representative Jerry Nadler (D-NY), and out reps. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Jared Polis (D-CO) will hold a press conference on Tuesday, September 15, to announce a bill seeking to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).  The introduction will occur just six days shy of its 13th anniversary – September 21st, 1996 – when it was signed into law by President Bill Clinton.  The Advocate is carrying the breaking story:

A Democratic aide confirmed that a press conference to announce the bill will be held September 15 at 11 a.m. at the House Triangle.

Nadler told the Bay Area Reporter in July that the bill would amount to a full repeal of DOMA, including Section 2, which advises states to disregard same-sex marriages that have been legally performed in other states, and Section 3, which prohibits the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages.

The bill currently has over 50 co-sponsors, and is supported by President Barack Obama.  A partner bill for the Senate has not been announced.
