The Army has just released a slideshow showing the changes to policy commanders need to be aware of thanks to the repeal of DADT. Mostly good things, but anyone else catching the crap starting around page 18? Thanks to the continued existence of the so-called Defense Of Marriage Act (DOMA), many benefits available to straight [...]

Washington DC – Moments ago, the bill to repeal the so-called Defense Of Marriage Act (DOMA) was introduced by Congressmen David Cicilline and Jerrold Nadler. The bill has 102 co-sponsors, but will that be enough to pass the GOP controlled House? I’ll admit I’m pretty skeptical about this. The bill had a much greater likelihood of [...]

Judge James Francis has sent a letter to Speaker John Boehner and Congress telling them that they have until April 18th to intervene in the DOMA case. Don’t get hopes up that they’ll miss the deadline, I’m sure Boehner will spend lots of our money to make sure it happens. The lawsuit to strike down [...]

The latest national poll has just been relased, and the vast majority of Americans want to see the so-called Defense Of Marriage Act (DOMA) repealed. Anyone have any guesses as to whether Speaker Boehner will listen or push forward with his laughable defense of the law? Last month, President Obama announced that the Attorney General and [...]

Texas – Rabid anti-gay extremist Representative Paul Workman has proposed a resolution urging President Obama to defend the so-called Defense Of Marriage Act (DOMA) in court. The US Attorney General and the DOJ have already determined the law is unconstitutional. Standard Tea Party appeasing nonsense. Even Fox News’ legal analysts have determined that DOMA is unconstitutional [...]

BREAKING: Washington DC – A bill to repeal the so-called Defense Of Marriage Act is set to be introduced in the House this Wednesday! It already has over 100 co-sponsors, and could finally put an end to much of the discrimination by the federal government. The “Respect For Marriage Act” is set to be introduced [...]

Washington DC – Last night House Republicans, led by Speaker Boehner, voted to hire outside attorneys to defend the so-called Defense Of Marriage Act in court. They don’t have a plan to get jobs back into the country, but they have the time and money to deny citizens of rights? The House Legal Advisory committee, [...]

Pretty damn hilarious. Maggie Gallagher of the so-called National Organization For Marriage (NOM) debates Brian Moulton, the Chief Legislative Counsel for the HRC about whether or not the Obama Administration made the right call on DOMA. Watch it below. The debate, of course, quickly deteriorates down to the virtues of marriage itself rather than the [...]

Wyoming- Developing Story. Moments ago state Senate Democrats called for an immediate rules committee meeting on whether or not the proposed bill to ban recognition of out-of-state gay marriages is constitutional or not. This may stop the bill in its tracks. If the Rules Committee comes back with a ruling that HB 74 is unconstituional, the [...]

California – 19 year 9th Circuit Court employee Karen Golinski is still feeling the effects of DOMA, despite Obama’s new stance saying that he will no longer defend the law in court. They’re still enforcing the policy and denying Karen’s wife any benefits that hetero spouses receive. This should silence all those critics like NOM [...]
