I have held off on publishing about President Obama’s decision to no longer defend section 3 of DOMA. Unlike many gay blogs I do not care about being the first to report news like this. Everyone can always get their news elsewhere.
I still am not really sure what I want to say about it. On the one hand I say great the President finally made the right decision. On the other hand I say too bad this really does not mean anything. Section 3 of DOMA is still in effect until the courts release the stay on the decision. And I have no doubt that either the Tea Party in Congress are going to hire their own lawyers to defend it or some other third party group is going to try to gain standing and defend it. This just means another year of the federal government not recognizing legal gay marriages and another year of discrimination.
