156. I assume you are straight because you think DOMA is not being enforced.

If I'm incorrect, all apologies. But either way you should get the language right.
The legal discrimination against gay couples continues because DOMA is the fully enforced law of the land. Because of DOMA, if you are married in WA you are still single in the eyes of the Federal government. That means you do not have the right to file jointly with the IRS, you can not know your partner will get survivor's benefits from Social Security if you go first as straight couples take for granted. Just last week our esteemed Moderate Centrist Democrats along with their Republican pals in the Senate removed from the immigration bill the amendment that would extend to same sex couples the right straight couples have to bring a spouse from another country to live in the US. Because of DOMA, even those who are married legally in other nations or in a US State are denied this right.
All of these things are fully enforced and one can go to jail for pretending otherwise.
The fact that Congress must repeal it has nothing to do with the fact that it is enforced and enforced by the Federal Government in many ways, many divisions. After years of full voiced defenses of DOMA in the courts using really ugly arguments, Obama asked Holder to cease defending the law in court. This is good, very good. But the law is still enforced, we still need to get it repealed, if people think it is not enforced they will not ask for change.
I assume you don't know that this 'DOMA is not enforced' meme is two years old already and often hurled from the 'center' toward LGBT folks who dare say anything about anything. 'Dan Choi, what's he complaining about, DOMA is no longer enforced, he has his rights' and that sort of thing.
