I believe that the tipping point has already passed. On some level, I think the DOMA-types can sense it, too, which is why they're fighting so hard and turning to increasingly absurd arguments. None of this is to say that the road is going to be easy or we can relax, but I do believe that the tide has changed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587902609826926070.post-12119748639343950862011-06-16T06:13:07.905-07:002011-06-16T06:13:07.905-07:00Brilliant.

I'm filled with so much joy for her, but also so much hurt as I wonder how long it may be before that engagement can become a marriage. <br /><br />Thank you again,<br />HollyHolly Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13616777037036202935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587902609826926070.post-42981059630867360852011-06-15T17:56:43.491-07:002011-06-15T17:56:43.491-07:00My partner and I have been together for 23 years. ...My partner and I have been together for 23 years. We live in Massachusetts, but have not gotten married yet due to the DOMA. Although the U.S. District Court in Boston ruled in two related cases on July 8, 2010, that the provisions of the federal Defense of Marriage Act barring federal recognition of legally married same-sex couples are unconstitutional, the final judgment is stayed pending the federal government's appeal to the First Circuit Court of Appeals.[2] Such an appeal was filed on October 12, 2010, by the U.S. Justice Department; consequently, Massachusetts same-sex couples are not eligible to receive federal recognition of their marriages, pending the outcome of the appeals process.<br /><br />The process continues. We have to, unfortunately, be patient and hope the Supremes help us.Robert Counihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07235391883586810851noreply@blogger.com
