PRESIDENT OBAMA I HEARD DADT, DOMA, ETC
BUT I DID NOT HEAR UAFA -
Uniting American Familes Act
President Obama mentioned many an issue on his agenda for LGBT equality today at his meeting with a group of LGBT leaders – but failed to address Immigation Equality. This is not a good sign. I believe the activists for UAFA need a strategy. Ditching DOMA may help but only a few.
When we get all 1,138 Rights, I never want to see ta letter of the ALPHA.BET again!
DADT DOMA UAFA EDNA GRRRRR!
