Congress should pass RFMA (Respect for marriage act)

Target:
Federal Government recognition of legal state based same-sex marriages
Sponsored by: 
The federal government still to this day in 2009 does not recognise state-based same-sex marriages. It is time to repeal DOMA for good. Vermont, Iowa, Massacusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire (from 1/1/2010) allow, perform and recognise civil same-sex marriages. California did allow and uphold 18,000 SSMs (between 16 June to 4 November 2008). Voters decide in Maine to allow SSM's in November 2009.

As a bisexual, I demand that all people be treated equally under Federal law, and that the LGBT community be treated just as fairly as any other group in the US.

Excuse me but are gay people human liek anyone else? You bet your arse! so why are gay people being treated any different if you fall in love and want to marry that person it's a beautiful thing and don't give me the shite about a marriage is made for straight men and women because if that was so true than why is it it's a married today and divorce tomorrow deal? Some striahg tpeople shouldn't be married the way they carry on with so much unfaithfulness but yet just because someone happens to be the same sex OMG We can't permit that. Get a fecking real life. This isn't about your choice it's the choice for those who wish to be married straight or gay.Give me a break.
