Senator Portman’s change of heart and the legacy of Harvey Milk
Fri, 03/15/2013 - 12:56pm — Jen
Why did Senator Portman’s change of heart take two years? Why has he continued to support the anti-gay policies of his party? There’s a lot of debate on both points, but one thing is certain: it was his son’s own coming out that forced the Senator to come out in support of marriage equality, and to do that interview and write that op-ed.

Ending Discrimination against Same-Sex Couples: Relationship Recognition in Immigration Law
The Uniting American Families Act (UAFA) is a meaningful step toward providing equality to same-sex couples and keeping their families together. It would allow many same-sex partners to begin the immigration process more quickly, efficiently, and with fewer limitations. For many, it could very well be the only avenue available to keep their families together in the US.

We need swift certification and effectuation of the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.
Ending Discrimination against Same-Sex Couples: Marriage and Relationship Recognition in Federal Law
Although there are some actions that can and should be taken to expand benefits and protections for same-sex couples, only the full repeal of DOMA will allow federal and interstate recognition of their legal marriages and give those couples equal rights under the law.
