Jonathan Capehart writing in the WaPo is mad as hell and wants people to remember things aren’t all bad.
Let’s face it, the Obama administration bungled the politics surrounding its filing of a brief in a case challenging the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which prohibits federal recognition of same-sex marriages. But the searing criticism that President Obama is getting for it borders on a blind rage that obscures some positive changes for gay men and lesbians from his administration in both style and substance.
‘Some positive changes’, isn’t good enough. The DOMA policy is immoral, the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy is immoral, nobody should cut him any slack for it. He needs to publicly say he’ll do everything in his power to end the era of government discrimination against homosexuals, nothing less.
