I'll just briefly summarize this 2,000-word post from John Aravosis on the Obama administration's latest gay-rights failure:
The Obama administration has not merely ceased defending the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act as unconstitutional, it has now filed a legal brief supporting a group challenging it in court.
This is a "watershed moment" for LGBT rights that will speed DOMA's demise.
The administration announced it was doing this on the Friday before the holiday weekend, ergo it is ashamed of its positions on gay rights and is trying to hide them from public view.
Aravosis concludes:
That is what I have problem with this historic moment. Even when doing something truly beneficial for our community, the administration has to find a way to muck it up.
Yeah, it's the administration that's going out of its way to turn this into a bad thing.
