The Obama Justice Department has reached out to major gay rights organizations and scheduled a private meeting for next week with the groups, in an apparent effort to smooth over tensions in the wake of the controversy over the administration’s defense in court of the Defense of Marriage Act.

Tracy Russo, a spokesperson for Justice, confirmed the meeting to me, after I posted below that top gay rights lawyers were miffed that administration lawyers had rebuffed their requests to meet and discuss ongoing litigation involving DOMA.

Really.

2. Encouraging, if coordination with what admin feels it must do deal with cases and legislation.

Rather less rhetoric and real working together. I know Obama has a timeline on what will be divisive cultural wedge issues, and also having to pass other major legislation.

DOMA and DADT need to be Congressional passed law, and more difficult to undo.

3. See? In politics, waiting patiently, and quietly standing by, gets results!

Oh, wait...

:D :D :D
