When I read that piece about Olson and Boies basing their brief to overturn Prop 8 on the Justice Department's refusing to enforce section 3 of DOMA, directed by Obama, it all became clear to me regarding this issue of states' rights. It's all so much more complicated, and in a crazy way, simpler than it seems.

Thank you so much for this post. I pledged yesterday to work for PFLAG. (Thanks yardwork for the suggestion of the specific organization.) So I'm happy you're not sitting this one out.
