Orman's suggestion seems to be a bit of small-bore thinking. It would work, but take a generation or three to make a difference, as past migrations have in U.S. history. But LGBT people with talent **will** migrate to friendly states with friendly work envirnments anyway -- and employers will be glad to have them. The idea that they should stick with a not so happy job in a hostile work environment state and work for political change is not much of an answer -- sounds more like people were told when they didn't like segregated water fountains. I think a more direct way -- is that LGBT people need to voice concerns about employers being wooed for new offices/plants in hostile territory. A couple of turndowns from promising companies rejecting the blandishments of local economic development offices and CofCs because of a hostile work environment inherent in a DOMA state will get things moving along much faster.
