Patti Davis returned to headlines earlier this month when she came out and said that her late father, President Ronald Reagan, would support modern day marriage equality. 

Now it's her mother's turn to receive the same kind of treatment. 

The Obama administration's amicus brief, filed last week, shot down what's being described as a "key" argument on the part of congressional Republicans in the Supreme Court's Defense of Marriage Act case. 

Lawyers defending DOMA on behalf of Congress argue that because same-sex couples cannot become accidentally pregnant, they do not need access to marriage. 

Legal brilliance in action.

He's done it again, folks. Back in December we reported that House Republicans had secretly raised the defense budget for the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and new reports released today show that Republican House Speaker John Boehner has once again raised the DOMA budget without the knowledge of House Democrats.

As discussion continues surrounding the impending "fiscal cliff," it's good to know that House Republicans are prioritizing where they put the nation's financial resources.

House Reps, including Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats, want President Obama and his Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano to change that—in writing.

Many House Democrats are eager to distance themselves from their anti-gay congressional colleagues.

A large majority of House Dems joined House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi in submitting what's being described as "the Democratic Members' brief."

The brief, submitted to the California federal appeals court, conveys the Democratic party's support for Karen Golinski in her lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act.

Remember the pregnant man??

Thomas Beatie and his wife Nancy shot to fame when Thomas became the first legal man to give birth to a child.

Unfortunately, Thomas and Nancy, now the parents of three children (all carried by Thomas), have separated.

Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Whip Steny Hoyer have asked Speaker John Boehner to really think about what he's doing in his war against disabled American veteran Tracey Cooper-Harris. Is that asking too much? 

We might exalt Nancy Pelosi for all she's done to help binational same-sex couples, but an emotional profile story that aired on CNN early Tuesday tugs at our dusty heartstrings to remind us of just how much more work is needed to end the injustice.
