On Friday the Obama administration put out a brief that very explicitly defended the Defence of Marriage Act (DOMA), which basically prevents couples in states that recognize same-sex unions from securing Social Security spousal benefits, filing joint taxes and other federal rights of marriage. Seriously Obama, how many campaign promises against the LGBT community are you willing to take back? As a friend of the blog, Hotplate, suggested, this is a major WTF!!!!!
