Kerry Eleveld reports that Obama will sign the memorandum extending benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees tomorrow at 5:45 p.m., and will make "brief remarks."
It's important to greet the good with as much enthusiasm as we condemn the bad, so while it doesn't negate the DOMA brief or lack of action on DADT repeal, this is an important step. Given the huge federal workforce in Washington with its legions of LGBT employees, I know this news will be extremely welcome here at home.
