A chance to celebrate bipartisanship on marriage equality is ignored by hyper-partisan Biden.
Added: Biden’s White House party and the way it was staged is giving the anti-gay right (including at the Heritage Foundation, among others) evidence that they were correct in opposing the bill. That’s unfortunate, given that the legislation is both “good for gays” and good for those who hold traditional religious views on marriage.
And worth repeating:
Behind the success of the Respect for Marriage Act, which mandated federal recognition for same-sex marriages, was a group of influential Republican donors and operatives, including some of the party’s most prominent gay leaders. https://t.co/dk0voTSn22

And this!
"One young man scolded me for saying “gay” instead of “queer,” which is apparently “more inclusive.” (Talk about “Don’t Say Gay”!)" https://t.co/SSiv8rMVnG via @intelligencer

Only a handful of Republicans backed the bill.

It’s a good law, we should legislate stuff like this more often. The Defense of Marriage Act was good in its day. This is even better.

Um. No. DOMA was unjust.
