With June being Pride month, the list of Cabinet secretaries openly
supporting marriage equality is growing fast.
The Advocate has confirmed that Secretaries Hilda Solis at Labor, Kathleen
Sebelius at Health and Human Services, John Bryson at Commerce, and Timothy
Geithner at Treasury all support same-sex marriage.
Add their names to that of Shaun Donovan at Housing and Urban Development
plus Arne Duncan at Education. Both came out for marriage equality even
before President Obama's announcement on ABC News in May that, "It is
important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should
be able to get married."
Solis has actually been in favor of marriage equality since becoming a
founding member of the LGBT Caucus in Congress, a spokesman noted, but her
support hadn't been part of roundups in the media following the announcement
by the president and from Vice President Joe Biden, who set things in
motion with his comments on Meet the Press.
“We are proud of our president’s history-making support for the right to
marry regardless of sexual orientation," Solis said in a statement about
Pride month, "just as we are proud that he refuses to use taxpayer dollars
to defend the Defense of Marriage Act.”
Attorney General Eric Holder gave a speech commemorating Pride month on
Wednesday but did not mention whether he supports marriage equality.
Sebelius issued a statement on Pride month that also didn't specifically
address marriage equality but a spokesman later confirmed that she is in
favor.
"At the heart of this administration is a core belief in equality," Sebelius
said in her Pride statement. "This belief means ensuring that lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Americans have the same protections and
opportunities as their family members, neighbors, friends, and colleagues."
For her part, First Lady Michelle Obama also recently explained why she
supports marriage equality, saying in a video posted on the White House
website that, “For Barack and me, it really comes down to the values of
fairness and equality that we want to pass down to our girls. I mean, these
are basic values that kids learn at a very young age and that we encourage
them to apply in all areas of their lives. And in a country where we teach
our children that everyone is equal under the law, discriminating against
same-sex couples just isn’t right. So it’s as simple as that."
