I applaud and appreciate the effort of the clarifications however, I disagree with one of the major, in fact, most likely synopsis. The matter in the top center, looks similar to the actual fact of the “19 State” solution. The 19 State solution grants FAR MORE than just the states listed above. In the 19 State solution, all states mentioned plus all states which already have Marriage Equality are included for Federal benefits. In that regard, it’s totally new.
As part of a binational couple, I hope and pray for DOMA to go down in a fire and open the hope of spousal immigration. Even if we end up ‘losing’ both cases (something I have a really difficult time imagining) we will not lose the war. It will just push victory back…it cannot and will not erase it forever. In the end, there will be equality for all. I just hope it comes soon enough for me and others across the world, binational or not, to spend those precious years with our loved ones, instead of battling just to be with them.
