We Are Just a Child, We Are Wide Awake  
President (yo' Mama) Obama and his administration are defending DOMA in federal court. I haven't finished reading the official document yet because it started making me nauseous, but the quotes drawing a lot of airtime in this clusterfuck draw connections between incestuous and underaged marriages and same-sex marriage. Yeah, fantastic.

I'm surprised, not because I'd expected Obama to be a "fierce advocate" for LGBT rights, but I also didn't expect to get fucked over. I thought the LGBT community would just fade into the background and he'd leave us alone to push his own agenda while we pushed ours. Instead he's trampling us with DOMA, and Don't Ask Don't Tell. I'm scared of what's coming next.

So, help a movement out:
E-mail the White House here.
