OMG! They actually listened! - Satori Stephen - Open Salon
Ok, I am feeling much more love for the change.gov website and the Obama administration than I was a week ago. Not only did they revamp the site and put back the detailed "Agenda" section, they included the issue that I (and others I am sure) wrote to them about, and more. And they stated in clear terms what they support. From the "Civil Rights" page:
Support Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights for LGBT Couples: Barack Obama supports full civil unions that give same-sex couples legal rights and privileges equal to those of married couples. Obama also believes we need to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure that the 1,100+ federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally-recognized unions. These rights and benefits include the right to assist a loved one in times of emergency, the right to equal health insurance and other employment benefits, and property rights.
