The Obama administration has remained Janus-faced on
same-sex marriage and DOMA. In “The
Federal Worker”, by Joe Davidson, on p B4 of the Saturday Washington Post, the
paper reports that the administration said that the case of Karen Golinski, a
federal courts employee in California, must not be used as a precedent for
other federal employees, who are still technically precluded from d.p. benefits
by DOMA. The link to the column, “Cases
address lesbian, transgender worker rights”, is here.
Obama has said he supports repeal of DOMA and the Department
of Justice is no longer defending the law in court.
The column also covers Mia Macy, a former male police
officer in Phoenix, who transitioned to female and was not hired by ATF in
California, with evasive reasons given.
