MSNBC’s Al Sharpton talks with Joshua Snyder, the husband of gay soldier Stephen Hill, who was booed at last month’s GOP/YouTube debate. Hill is part of a group of soldiers who are suing the federal government over DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act, that forces the federal government to not recognize same-sex marriages. DOMA has already been declared illegal in federal court.
