"I applaud the Supreme Courts decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act," President Obama said in his statement. "This was discrimination enshrined in law."
During his first term, he had already directed the Justice Department to stop defending DOMA. Signed in 1996 by President Bill Clinton, the Act "treated loving, committed gay and lesbian couples as a separate and lesser class of people," President Obama said.
"The Supreme Court has righted that wrong, and our country is better off for it," President Obama said. "We are a people who declared that we are all created equal--and the love we commit to one another must be equal as well."

Our rainbow is so very beautiful. Our hopes and dreams will come true.
It is our color. The color of change~

You know something, our colors are getting brighter and bolder every single day! It is the color of change and it's beautiful~~~ The Color of Things "A man's character always takes its hue, more or less, from the form and color of things about him." - Frederick Douglass
Somethings happening here~
there's something happinin here
what it is aint exactly clear
theres a man with a gun over there
tellin me i got to beware
i think it's time we stop, children
what's that sound
everybody look what's goin down
there's battle lines being drawn
nobody's right if everybody's wrong
young people speakin there minds
getting so much resistance far behind
it's time we stop,
hey what's that sound
everybody look what's goin down
what a field day for the heat
a thousand people in the street
singing songs that they're carrying signs
mostly say hurray for our side
it's time we stop,
hey what's that sound
everybody look what's goin down
Par-a-noia strikes deep
into your life it will creep
it starts when your always afraid
step out of line the man come and take you away
we better stop
hey what's that sound
everybody look what's going down x4
