Thanks to throb mentioning it, I was armed with a little factoid that I hadn't been aware of before... namely that it was Clinton that first introduced the whole No SSM thing into the realm of political debate, and that he was on the "no" side.
I brought that up in a discussion with an avowed Clinton-lover and far leftie, and heads TOTALLY exploded.
There was sputtering. There was loss of ability to talk. There was a mad stomp away, furious glaring, and a distinct lack of willingness to talk to me for several months.
In a later discussion with the same person, they told me that they had looked that information up, and were convinced that Clinton did it because "he was afraid for his life" if he did not throw the "Conservatives" a bone.
The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was introduced on May 7, 1996, by Representatives Bob Barr (GA), Steve Largent (OK), Jim Sensenbrenner (WI), Sue Myrick (NC), Ed Bryant (TN), Bill Emerson (MO), Harold Volkmer (MO), Ike Skelton (MO). Barr, Largent, Sensenbrenner, Myrick and Bryant were Republicans; Volkmer and Skelton were Democrats. Emerson died on June 22, 1996, before the bill was passed.
It was signed by President Bill Clinton on September 21, 1996.
In a June 1996 interview in the gay and lesbian magazine The Advocate, Clinton said: " I remain opposed to same-sex marriage. I believe marriage is an institution for the union of a man and a woman. This has been my long-standing position, and it is not being reviewed or reconsidered."

I think Annie Sullington has a schoolgirl crush on the dashing congressman from Tennesee
More like Michael Moore and Hugo Chavez.
V the K -
Could be, but recently he's been having a pissing match with InstaPundit over the latter's early vote for Corker.
Some lefty on gaypatriot just left a hilarious but apparently sincere comment.
1. "Harold Ford's opposition to SSM is tantamount to supporting the Klan over the Civil Rights movement."
2. "I hope he wins in a landslide."
I mean, we're all holding our noses this November, but that seems almost like battered wife syndrome.
Battered husband syndrome, actually.
They elected one for President, twice, remember?
On the SSM topic...

Thank you, Frank. I was too lazy to go google the particulars at the moment.
