On the human rights

Defending the Doma (Defense of Marriage Act), that marriage "real" are those between people of different sex, is no longer responsibility of the federal government of the United States of America. Indeed, President Barack Obama, with a landmark decision, intended to highlight the unconstitutionality of an act, the son of different times, perpetuates a form of discrimination against homosexuals.

If individuals are thus entitled to retain the freedom to macerate in hatred and hostility towards forms of understanding and love that does not mean "blessing," the government can, however, establish a clear and precise, being gay not a sin nor a disease and that all forms of persecution carried out against them is unconstitutional.

Although the world is troubled today by much more, it would be wrong not to stop for a moment to celebrate this moment so important for those who fought for years to see their recognized, fundamental rights of human beings. And not only. This day is also important for those who believe deeply in the idea of a government that guarantees equal rights to citizens regardless of religious or moral beliefs whose influence would be unacceptable in a secular state.

For this reason, it is worth to feel deeply satisfied with Obama's decision. For this reason, it is worth to feel deeply satisfied for the decision of the federal court in Washington dismissed, no ifs, ands or buts, the action that the American Center for Law and Justice, a Christian religious group, he advanced against the health care reform launched by Obama.

According to the leaders of the religious group, reform, forcing people to adopt a form of health care, limit the freedom of those who intend to rely on God and God alone, for their health. If need to, and certainly needed, the Court reiterated that the U.S. is a secular state and, as such, the welfare of the citizen, for a president, is (or should be) before the welfare of his soul, which we deals in places other than the Congress.

By the way, Obama, the private sphere, is a convinced Christian, the fact is that, in public, is the president of Americans. Of all Americans. The hope now is that two good news will be followed by another: to enable students to acquire the status of illegal immigrants U.S. citizenship.

Why take the side of human rights is right.
