Obama Comes Out for DOMA
Americablog. has the scoop.
Basically, an Obama DoJ appointee made motions in a court case challenging the Defense of Marriage Act, and while I guess that there is an obligation for them to defend statute, the filing invoked pedophilia, called gays freeloaders, and generally invoked every bigoted right-wing talking point out there.
On the stump, he condemned DOMA.
Even better, today is the 42nd anniversary of Loving v. Virginia.
I would not hold my breath on a repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell.
I told you so after the whole Donnie McClurkin thing.
