The provision same-sex couples has definitely be thrown out of the bill. It makes me very sad. And it means that even more is riding on DOMA being overturned by SCOTUS; and (hoping for the best outcome) when that happens it still means a very long wait for those couples who are currently suffering, most of whom have waited a very long time already. DOMA being overturned won't magically create new laws, it only opens the door for their creation.

I'm saddened and sickened that YET AGAIN our community is a pawn in the political machinations, and an easily disposable one at that.
