I was cruising sexbodygender.com last night and I couldn't believe that Barack Obama appointed Chai Feldblum to the EEOC (the EEOC is the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission.  I worked on joint cases with them when I worked at the
AG's office).  She's a powerhouse Harvard grad, Georgetown Law professor who is OPENLY GAY. She drafted the Americans with Disabilities Act and she's all over gay and transgender rights *sigh*

What's even more amazing is that Ms. Feldblum is pro-polyamory rights stating publically that:

Marriage is not the only worthy form of family or relationship, and it should not be legally and economically privileged above all others. A majority of people - whatever their sexual and gender identities - do not live in traditional nuclear families. They stand to gain from alternative forms of household recognition beyond one-size-fits-all marriage. For example:

· Single parent households

· Senior citizens living together and serving as each other's caregivers (think Golden Girls)

· Blended and extended families

· Children being raised in multiple households or by unmarried parents

· Adult children living with and caring for their parents

· Senior citizens who are the primary caregivers to their grandchildren or other relatives

· Close friends or siblings living in non-conjugal relationships and serving as each other's primary support and caregivers

· Households in which there is more than one conjugal partner

· Care-giving relationships that provide support to those living with extended illness such as HIV/AIDS.
