At PJ Media I explain why marriage will be saved by marriage equality, not DOMA

I re-arranged my newsfeed in the sidebar over the last couple of days to include headlines from five Leftist gay blogs: AmericablogGAY, Good As You, Joe.My.God, The Bilerico Project and Towleroad.

Althouse’s bravura critique of Obama’s duplicity to gays at his meeting this week with progressive bloggers
Frankly, I was browsing my newsfeed for something easy and funny to post when I came across Instapundit’s post on Obama’s Oct. 27 meeting in the White House with five progressive bloggers in which he links Ann Althouse and JustOneMinute.

Lady Gaga addresses the Senate via YouTube on ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’
One of the most amazing, joyful, electric experiences I’ve ever had in my life was to be in the front of the crowd at last year’s gay and lesbian March for Equality when Lady Gaga came to the microphone to speak. She was the only speaker to address Obama directly and call on him to …
