The irony here is that the TODAY show is produced in and aired live from Boston, Massachusetts, where same-sex marriage is not only legal, but where a US District Court has found DOMA unconstitutional.

Shame on NBC!

It’s actually “unalienable”, not “inalienable”.

Common mistake.

NBC is offering a flimsy and even childish excuse: “They’re discriminating, so we have to too.” It’s time to boycott this show, or maybe even the network. Our founding documents guarantee us equality and rights. For example, the fourteenth amendment guarantees the equal protection of the laws, and the Declaration of Independence reads, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness…” NBC has a responsibility to respect our rights, even if the state of New York unlawfully fails to do so.

I don’t understand how “a permanent, legal resident of the United States” can get a “valid United States passport.”

Usually, US Citizens get US passports. Foreign nationals who are permanent legal US residents get a passport from their country of nationality and the US gives them a Form I-551, which is the official name of a Green Card or Alien Registration Card.
