      Honestly, really proud of my 2011 work on the 15th anniversary of #DOMA. This piece, the 4th in a series, nailed it:http://www.metroweekly.com/2011/09/becoming-law/ …

      Some people have more or less rewritten that report in the wake of Hillary Clinton's comments about #DOMA, but it was all there in 2011.

      There are a ton of comments there, from people all around, and they basically laugh at Daschle's claim #DOMA was aimed to stop an amendment.

      And, honestly, @brianefallon's comment to HuffPo is completely dismissive of the importance of telling history accurately. What is that?

      After Clinton goes on Maddow & gives a very specific story about the history of DOMA, days later, her spokesperson is just like, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      I care about accurate telling of history, for its implications for current & future happenings, more than almost anything else as a journo.

          Look at some of the big stories I've done over time: The DOMA project in 2011, and the Rock Hudson/Nancy Reagan & Clinton/Prop 22 stories.

          @chrisgeidner DOMA as a counter is an easily tested claim and they never even try to show evidence. DADT failure was real and documented.
