Obama Likes Us. He Really Really Likes Us.

Well, it's about fucking time... We make an exception in our general ignoring of gay marriage news to acknowledge that Barack Obama today, via the Justice Department, announced that the government would stop defending the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, in particular with regard to same-sex couples who were already legally married. The gay blogs are GOING WILD, friends. Towleroad nearly peed itself with joy.  Queerty is plotzing. Joe.My.God is calling up all the bears in the neighborhood for a celebretory buffet/orgy. Even World of Wonder gets in on the party.

Meanwhile, the Prop 8 plaintiffs in California are approaching the 9th Circuit yet again to ask them kindly to lift their stay on overturning Prop 8.
