Gobama

When it first released, there was some disappointment that Obama's policy website had very little to say about LGBT issues--nothing much beyond trying to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Well, it's certainly there now. The proposed policies are:

• Expand Hate Crimes Statutes


• Fight Workplace Discrimination


• Support Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights for LGBT Couples


• Oppose a Constitutional Ban on Same-Sex Marriage


• Repeal Don't Ask-Don't Tell


• Expand Adoption Rights


• Promote AIDS Prevention


• Empower Women to Prevent HIV/AIDS

The third one there proposes to repeal DOMA and institute civil unions federally. It's not perfect, but it would be a damn sight better than what we have now.
