I hope so too but he and his cohorts in Congress are already in enough hot water with a lot of voters over the Health Care Bill. There are a block of moderate Democrats from the South that won't go for it because their Conservative constituents would string them up by their toes. I think this whole issue should be approached from the stand point of taxation without representation.If the LGBT community pays the same taxes for services as the straight community, then we should have the same rights to the same services. They require everyone who gets married to buy a marriage license through the Courthouse regardless if they get married in Church or in front of a Justice Of The Peace. The court system is paid for with taxes and fees paid for by all citizens so it should be equal access for all. If the law was enforced from that standpoint, the government would either have to allow everyone to marry(Which would then force the Right wing marriage between man and woman crowd to push to remove the civil requirement out of marriage rather than allow equal access) The government would balk because they would lose out on the fees collected on each license so it would wind up being a stalemate. Something would have to happen if the Supreme Court came down with an Equal Access ruling. I seriously doubt the governments at all levels would like it if all LGBT taxpayers just banded together and refused to pay any more unless they were given the same rights and services as straight couples. They would lose a lot of money! I wonder if politicians would be willing to face losing a lot of votes from our community if they dared to stand against us? We vote and if enough of us refused to vote for candidates that don't stand for us then they might sit up and pay attention. In many places our vote would determine who wins or loses, so if it was close, they couldn't afford to ignore us.
