With the stroke of a pen yesterday, the Obama administration Department of Justice extended same-sex "marriage" to every state in America, thus overruling citizens' decisions in the vast majority of the nation's states. This action grants the right of homosexuals who are "married" in a select few liberal states to foist their deviant lifestyle choice onto citizens in every state.

The expansion of such federal recognition will include 34 states where same-sex marriage isn’t legal, but the new federal benefits being extended to those states will apply only where the U.S. government has jurisdiction, Holder said.
Attorney General Eric Holder announced the initiative on Saturday, Feb. 8, 2014, at a gay rights group’s gala.
In his speech, Holder announced the Justice Department will issue a memo Monday that recognizes same-sex marriages “to the greatest extent possible under the law.”

From "Holder applies same-sex marriage ruling to Justice" by The Associated Press 2/8/14
Holder’s speech was criticized by the conservative National Organization for Marriage.
“This is just the latest in a series of moves by the Obama administration, and in particular the Department of Justice, to undermine the authority and sovereignty of the states to make their own determinations regulating the institution of marriage,” said Brian Brown, the group’s president. “The changes being proposed here to a process as universally relevant as the criminal justice system serve as a potent reminder of why it is simply a lie to say that redefining marriage doesn’t affect everyone in society.”
Holder told his audience:
—The Justice Department will recognize that same-sex spouses of individuals involved in civil and criminal cases should have the same legal rights as all other married couples . . . even in states where same-sex marriages are not recognized, the federal government will not use state views as a basis . . .

From "Justice Department to give married same-sex couples equal protection" by Sari Horwitz, Washington Post 2/8/14
The Justice Department on Monday will instruct all of its employees across the country, for the first time, to give lawful same-sex marriages sweeping equal protection under the law in every program it administers, from courthouse proceedings to prison visits to the compensation of surviving spouses of public safety officers.
In a new policy memo, the department will spell out the rights of same-sex couples, including the right to decline to give testimony that might incriminate their spouses, even if their marriages are not recognized in the state where the couple lives.
In addition, an inmate in a same-sex marriage can be furloughed to be present during a crisis involving a spouse. In bankruptcy cases, same-sex married couples will be eligible to file for bankruptcy jointly. Domestic support obligations will include debts, such as alimony, owed to a former same-sex spouse. Certain debts to same-sex spouses or former spouses should be excepted from discharge.
