Yes, it does get better.
Thank you senators for your unqualified support.
It is a shame that they are only from one of the two great parties.
It is a shame this "this message of hope" doesn't come from every senator.
It is after all it is about equality, nothing more, nothing less; how can this be a partisan issue?
How have civil rights, women's rights, religious freedom and human rights become partisan issues?
I always thought "we are all equal under the law" was the minimum standard that we held America up to, that is what made us exceptional and leaders in democracy.
We appear not to be living up to our own dream.

FYI, Senator Coons arranged this (1+ / 0-)
and only invited other co-sponsors of the Respect For Marriage Act to participate. (This bill would repeal DOMA.)
Is the LGBT community inclusive enough to embrace the glitter-dispersal impaired? Discuss.
