Hope PROPOSITION 8 and DOMA get shot down in a firey death!

This week is when Proposition 8 - The law that was POLITICALLY FUNDED by tax exempt Mormons and Catholic churches... And DOMA: The federal law passed by homophobic and closeted politicians to limit marriage to only straight people... Now gets to go to the highest court in the land and be shot down ONCE AND FOR ALL...
Here is hoping us gays can get FEDERALLY recognized marriage without any more friggin' delays.
On a side note... Make sure to contact the IRS and let them know that Catholic and Mormon churches need to be taxed now that they have become politically influential through money dontaions to political campaigns.

I'm sure there will be a huge celebration in the queer community when both of these laws are off the books and when all state bans on same-sex unions go the same way as Prop. 8 will by virtue of precedent.
And even if Prop. 8 stands for now, it'll be repealed by popular vote in the next 2-4 years and DOMA is on really shaky ground constitutionally; just getting rid of DOMA alone will be a huge victory.
Though I am kind of glad the bigots pushed it as far as they have or else it would have still been a state by state issue... Now it is out of ALL the states hands... Hopefully.
