What we fought for all along was equality–neither more nor less. This is a housekeeping measure. Your mockery is ignorant.

It would all be so simple if we just repeal DOMA and then the Supreme Court will decide that banning gay marriage is unconstitutional. It all takes time but it will happen. The world is changing and so are people’s views. Marriage has changed over the years as we have seen. At one time people of differing races weren’t allowed to marry. So I applaud Phil Mendelson for introducing this legislation and urge the Council to pass it quickly.

Seems ironic, doesn’t it? We can get married, but, after only a few months, we need to have the right to dissolve. LOLROF
