PrideSource - Hundreds of law students protest graduation speaker
NotesPortman, a U-M law school graduate, has a voting record that the 298 students dislike. As a U.S. Representative, Portman voted for a proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution banning same-sex marriage in 2004. Portman also voted for the Defense of Marriage Act, which allows states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages performed legally in other states, in 1996. (The Obama administration has since deemed the act unconstitutional.) And in 1999, he voted to bar same-sex couples in Washington, D.C. from adopting children.
