		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so this actually IS news worth reporting: On Friday, Sept. 23, the very first Republican, U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen [FL18] of the Miami, Florida area, cosponsored H.R. 1116, the Respect for Marriage Act, the bill to repeal the despicable Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), without whose existence, there would be no need for UAFA [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The UAFA-related blogosphere is alive with reports of the bill being re-introduced into Congress. This will seem like a wet blanket, but my jaded response is&#8230; so what? The bill (and its predecessor) has been introduced into every subsequent Congress since the year 2000, and it has never come close to passing. To be fair, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[America&#8217;s unjust immigration law,  which prohibits an American citizen from sponsoring a foreign-born, non-US citizen, same-sex partner is destroying my family. Currently, U.S. policy permits a heterosexual American citizen to sponsor a heterosexual foreign-born partner for immigration purposes, as long as the two have met at least once in person in the past two years; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The 2010 mid-term elections have come and gone, and the surprisingly productive &#8220;lame duck&#8221; session ended the 111th Congress with a few long-fought-for victories, including, seemingly miraculously, the legislative repeal of DADT, the openly discriminatory military policy of &#8220;Don&#8217;t Ask/Don&#8217;t Tell,&#8221; signed into law by Bill Clinton in 1993. In view of the repeal of [...]]]></description>

But I won&#8217;t complain about these numbers: 133 in the House, 25 in the Senate [...]]]></description>
