Obama to Prejudice: Get Off My Property

(Blog author's note: article author's name not found. We all have to deal with it)
In this editorial, “Mr. Obama Moves Against Bias”, the author agrees with the Obama Administration's decision to demand the Justice Department to “stop defending the constitutionality” of the Defense of Marriage Act, signed by Bill Clinton in 1996. The act, which “arbitrarily denied federal benefits for married couples to married same-sex couples, ...allowed states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages that are legally recognized in other states.” The author makes many attempts to point out that the act is immoral, referring to it as “deplorable” and “sanctioned blatant discrimination”, and I for one agree wholeheartedly.
In our society, whether it is in the form of racial, gender, or homosexual discrimination, it simply does not belong anywhere. We live in a country where we are constantly striving to move forward, and clinging stubbornly to our outdated beliefs will not get us anywhere. And besides, the act that Clinton passed CLEARLY violates the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which states “full faith and credit shall be given in each of these States to the records, acts, and judicial proceedings of the courts and magistrates of every other State”. What Obama is doing is just a small step towards a creating a nation that is fully equal. The author remarks that what Obama is doing “firmly skewers what has been bad law and complements the recent Congressional repeal of the government’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” prejudice suffered by gay men and lesbians serving the nation in the military”. That was the first step in this process, now lets complete the rest.
