A Missing Name in the Draft Democratic Platform

No, not John Edwards. Jon Rauch points out the platform calls for the repeal of DOMA (which it did not in 04). But he also points to this ommission:

From 2004:

We support full inclusion of gay and lesbian families in the life of our nation and seek equal responsibilities, benefits, and protections for these families.

And 2008:

We support the full inclusion of all families in the life of our nation, and support equal responsibility, benefits, and protections.

Some will view that with suspicion given the rift between Howard and the gays. My gut reaction is agreement with the commenters that as long as "all" really means "all," it is a positive development.
