In response to a “reach out” by President Obama, LGBT families have been encouraged to apply for tickets for the annual White House Easter Egg Roll, according to the Family Equality Council. That organization previously organized LGBT families to participate in the event in 2006 (see press coverage here). That’s cool, but I’ll bet lots of those families would benefit more from the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (and the President has said here that he supports the repeal). Let’s see the administration put rights — not just eggs — in the hands of these taxpaying families.
