BREAKING NEWS: Obama has instructed the Department of Justice to NOT to defend the Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA which is the law that defines marriage between a man and a woman and which together with the immigration law was the main reason why we were not able to get married while straight people could in USA. This will not affect my situation but will hopefully help a LOT of couples like us who are in the unbearable situation of facing life apart, moving out of the country or staying there illegally.
This is a great day for Obama administration but still just a small step. They need to define marriage gender neutral and include bionational gay couples into the immigration law before this helps anybody. Or binational couples...this might help the gay american couples sooner... I sometimes forget the gay american couples since I'm not american... so here's hoping that my gay american friends will send me an invitation to their wedding SOON!
Good for you Obama! Good for America.
