Tragic stories which deserve to be given a wider audience as you are doing. They are doing the right thing by challenging these laws in court. But what a trauma they are having to go through. I have a feeling that DOMA might be coming to an end so lets hope for better days ahead.
DOMA probably will end during Obama's presidency. But then we still have 30+ states to contend with. You know, they still denied blacks the right to vote down here in the South for a *hundred years* after the 14th amendment was passed.
I fully believe it will take another twenty years - at least - for marriage equality to be nationwide. Though I hope events prove me wrong, of course.
But I don't really expect to see it here in TX in my lifetime.
Comments are welcome, but please note: this is not a public forum but my personal blog, which nobody is forced to read. You don't like what I write, go find a blog you do like; there are millions of others to choose from. Or write your own.
Polite disagreement is one thing, but rudeness will be deleted without hesitation.
