Operation DOMA Flip Flop: Campaign to make sure the Prez keeps his promise!

Operation DOMA Flip Flop: Campaign to make sure the Prez keeps his promise! I'm glad this story is getting more exposure, but it should've been about Barnes becoming the highest ranking Obama official to support marriage equality. Rather, it's become about how the White House will do all they can to not be associated with an adviser who does support marriage equality. Very disappointing.

Melody Barnes's Semi-Endorsement Of Gay Marriage Causes Discomfort In White House
www.huffingtonpost.com
It's a poorly kept secret that inside the Obama White House, plenty of of aides, staffers, and high-ranking officials support gay marriage. In fact, the assumption within gay-rights advocacy circles is that the president himself supports the idea -- though never publicly.

@Guillermo: Well, he certainly has not indicated that he's for equal rights for all. @Val: Obama may have been a good community organizer, but as you say, I don't believe he knows a thing about the complications of politics.

So disappointing. I thought he'd be a politician who didn't talk out of both sides of his mouth, but sadly I find that I was wrong

Operation DOMA Flip Flop: Campaign to make sure the Prez keeps his promise!

Operation DOMA Flip Flop: Campaign to make sure the Prez keeps his promise! Melody Barnes, the President's top domestic policy adviser, came out personally supporting marriage equality earlier this week. However, the White House tried to deny this story and also tried to stop a videotape of her position proving her support from going public. I was the BC Law student who asked this question and... VIDEO has finally been released as proof! It's inside the ABC News link.

Repeal Tennessee's Marriage Amendment
We seek the repeal of the Tennessee Constitutional Amendment passed in 2006 by voters that defines civil marriage as only between one man and one woman therefore denying equal marriage rights to gay and lesbian Tennesseans. Civil rights should NEVER be put to a popular ...vote. Do the right thing. End state-sanctioned discrimination. Support equality for ALL Tennesseans and ALL Americans. We are not affiliated with the Tennessee Equality Project, but highly recommend that you follow them in the fight for equal rights in Tennessee.

Operation DOMA Flip Flop: Campaign to make sure the Prez keeps his promise! DNC misleading our community -- anyone surprised? We should not be blindly supporting the Democratic Party or Democrats in general. We need to support individual candidates who support full equality (who will likely be Democrats, but not in all cases).

Shut down the GayTM. NO more money to OFA or DNC. Only fund candidates who support and are honest to us.

I totally agree with you Doug. Our most powerful weapon is our money. Without it, Democratic causes will not be funded nearly as well as they would, especially with all the DINK couples in the gay community. We, as a group, have a huge advantage because of our collective discretionary income. We MUST use it!

Operation DOMA Flip Flop: Campaign to make sure the Prez keeps his promise! Congressman Jerry Nadler, an actual fierce advocate for our community (unlike some people). Have you contacted your representative in Congress about the Respect for Marriage Act already?

Congressman Nadler is from New York City and the primary sponsor of legislation repealing DOMA. He historically has been among the best in Congress for LGBT rights and this brave act continues in that tradition. We welcome his guest editorial...

Unfortunately, my congressman, Henry Waxman, has no response to this bill ... this despite the fact that he represents one of the largest GLBT communities in the world. He's also softened his position on the "Public Option". The Democratic Party will no longer receive my votes for any office.

I don't know whether my rep will join or not. I cannot see either Lieberman or Dodd supporting this. They aren't anti-gay marriage, but they'll make some excuse b/c they won't want to piss off the president. Dems no longer get my votes or my money either, Ken.

This should be a 'no-brainer' since DOMA discrimintates against legally married GLBT couples.
