You posters above me actually have a PROBLEM with this?
Nope. I have the same problem as paperhouse. I hate being pandered to every 4 years, and then forgotten about until April 15th of every year. Also, I hate when politicians change their stance on issues directly related to me and claim that they are "new and exciting" ideas that will bring "change". Hillary has been in support of ending Federal discrimination and providing Federal benefits long before Obama.

Out of curiosity, what does tax day have anything to do with gays?
40 years isn't that long in the grand scheme. The bill was voted in by Republicans, but that is another thread, so I'll stop here.
No sense in stopping, it was the republican party who broke through to pass all of the first civil rights bills, not the dems. The dem party has a history of when they need people they love them, when they dont need them they dump them like a rock along side the street.
Yes, it’s amazing that Republicans seem so intolerant & always behind the curve of public thinking. Bigoted, I guess & why most Americans have a bad taste when Bible Belt-types expect us to live in the 1800's.
For a Republican candidate to embrace Gay rights it becomes suicidal to their party brethren [the same people who are afraid of anything different, are racists & yet proudly say the pledge to the Flag and pretend to be Christians]. The hypocrisy has an overwhelming stench.

It's when I have to pay my taxes without being able to claim my partner and all the tax breaks associated with marriage. The only time gay Americans are valuable to this country is during tax season when they take our money and use it against us.

Just another copycat off the real deal..
I wonder what will happen if obama does win the nominee? When he actually has to figure out his own answers without cheating off Hillary.
Oh Goodie! Will he buy us a new Mercedes and pay for the ceremony, reception and Honeymoon too? Maybe a nice 3 bedroom in the Hamptons?
He promised to repeal DOMA. Its not giving people anything, its about removing restriction that DOMA applies.
Finally, I don't know whats so 'new' or 'unique' or 'dangerous' about this article other than the fact that Obama calls for repealing DOMA that was passed under Clinton adminstration.
He didn't promise 'special tax cuts for gays and neither did he promise them a million dollar I don't know why most of the comment give the impression that he is giving special privileges to the gays and lesbians?---------Am I reading a different article. ah?
The difference between Clinton and Obama position...
Both are aganist gay marriage. However,
Clinton doesn't support repealing the entire DOMA------hence no gay marriage right under any circumstance.
Obama doesn't support gay marriage but supports repealing DOMA entirely-----so if California has gay marriage for its citzen, other states have to respect it under the Full Faith and Credit Clause articles of the constitution. Of course he wants states to make the decision on the marriage issue, his position of repeal is frankly a indirect support for gay marriage and been a constitional lawyer he must know it. (Clever)
