Stands for "Defense of Marriage Act", a 1996 law that discriminates against same-sex couples. Section 3 of DOMA, which defines marriage as "heterosexual couples only" and denies federal benefits to gay couples, was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2013. While many Democrats praised DOMA's end, they forgot to mention that they voted for it.
Person 1: "Bill Clinton sure was happy that DOMA was struck down."
Person 2: "Yeah, but he was the one who signed it..."
Stands for the Defense of Marriage Act. It WAS the bullshit law that said that GLBT couples cannot have federally recognized marriages,denying them thousands of benefits,way too many to list. This bullshit was officially struck down on June 26,2013,to the delight of the GLBT community. On this day,the GLBTs of the world and the community's allies celebrated.(Myself being one of them.)
EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
