The Democratic National Convention has confirmed its intention to include marriage equality as part of its platform.

Congressman Barney Frank shared the news:

I want you to be one of the first to know: After a unanimous decision on Sunday, the drafting committee for the Democratic National Convention embraced marriage equality as part of our platform for the 2012 Convention.
