Recently, it was made public that the Obama administration is looking to uphold the status quo in regards to the Defense of Marriage Act or DOMA, in a new briefing released regarding the California legislation against gay marriage. We all know that perhaps I'm beating a dead horse on this issue, but this is a horse that should be beaten to a bloody pulp until it gets taken care of... I've written about the significance of "seperate but equal" in this country before and the invalid status it carries, yet millions of Americans still choose this practice for the LGBT community. In 2009, we are left with the option of seperate but equal or nothing!

In Nevada, Domestic Partnerships are finally legal and the first permits will be handed out on October 20th... this is a great victory for the community in Nevada and it's welcomed news to the thounsands of LGBT members in the state; shouldn't legislation go further to protect our civil rights though? Why should any one couple be held to a different standard? Domestic Partnerships are a valued commodity in today's LGBT reality, and it's a small step on the road to equality... I just never would have thought that the liberal president in office would be just as condemning as dubya... (George W. Bush... my best friend)

Congress has been given the signal to wait it out and see how the chips fall when it comes to DOMA... let the states fight it out, I'm sure that equality will come from the states first. Just like racial equality and women's rights did, I'm sure they will. The go ahead has been officialy given for Congress to turn a blind eye to the issues of the gay community... Congress and this President better pick their battles more wisely unless they want a black eye in 2010 and 2012.

We should demand to be taken more seriously as a demographic...

God bless America I suppose...
