But it's all about, and always about, the money.

I truly believe these laws are aimed at distracting people from other horrors our government is putting upon us as it is, not so slowly anymore, turned into a corpocracy.

I also think it's another way to raise money. So many of the Republicans had pretty much given up their fight against LGBT just before the DOMA decision. Now, they're back at it. Why?

Thank you, RKP5637. I understand exactly what you are feeling. I don't know that I believe we have done as well as you think we have. But maybe we're just going backward since President Obama was first elected. And the fight against LGBT people by Republicans has certainly taken an upswing since June 26, 2013.
