Democrats are pressing Biden admin to lift the embassy ban on discussing gay marriage.
Over 60 house Democrats are calling on secretary of State, Anthony Blinken to lift the state department’s ban on US diplomats lobbying for gay marriage in an official capacity.
This comes after testimony from Scott Busby, acting principal deputy assistant secretary, revealing the department’s official policy is to not advocate for or against same-sex marriage overseas.
A group of lawmakers said the policy was outdated and should be “rescinded as a matter of urgency.”
