Tell President Obama: Don’t Appeal DOMA Decision

9 Jul

From me via the Courage Campaign:

I just signed on to a letter from the Courage Campaign to President Obama asking him to not appeal a decision that gave us a major victory in the fight for equality for LGBT Americans.

On Thursday, a federal judge in Massachusetts ruled that part of the “Defense of Marriage Act” is unconstitutional — meaning that the federal government can no longer withhold recognition of same-sex marriages performed in states where such marriages are legal. It’s a major victory for equality. Now we need to make sure that President Obama preserves that victory by not appealing it.
