I love Nancy Pelosi! Wells & Makk update :)

[East]

Much as I applaud her intervention in this particular case, I have one question. What did she do towards repealing DOMA when the Democrats had control of both houses of Congress and she was Speaker?

The way things unfolded the first order of business was the Hate Crimes Legislation and the failed attempt at the Employment Non Discrimination Act but truly the first part of Obama and Pelosi's reign was to enact Health Care which was a top priority and required all of their collective efforts and bargaining as it was at the core of their campaigns It was a disappointment as the plan sucked...I don't think she ever abandoned the GLBT community but she has alot of other things she needed to do and getting bi partisan support for a comprehensive health care bill and passing what she knew she could pass at the time took precedent. I respect that. Depending on how you look at it you can argue that she didn't do enough but I think she used caution and did what she could do at the time and continues to do so.

She has a 100% rating from HRC and is regarded as a staunch defender of pro gay legislation.
