I was willing to wait. The dismantling of "Don't Ask Don't Tell" wasn't as high a priority as health care reform and the financial crisis.
But the DOJ brief on the Defense of Marriage case makes where we stand with the administration clear - Gay Marriage is equatable with incestous marriages.
In the same week you, the President of the United States of America, speak of being ever vigilant against prejudice. We are told that hate is un-American, except, it seems, for homophobia.
EDIT: Yes, I understand that incest was an analogy to make the point of the right of states to define marriages for themselves. The fact that it was thought appropriate as an analogy is telling enough....as is the filling of a brief in favor of DOMA.
