But j83 is right, DOMA will probably go down before Congress even considers CIR.

I don't hate the movement. I have gay friends and even go to pride parades and want them to have the same rights but again, immigration reform has been on hold for almost 3 decades. In the last few years, several states have gay marriage, "don't ask, don't tell" is gone, and overall the tide has turned and it's a matter of time before it's all history. I don't think it's right for them to hold up immigration reform because it doesn't fit their agenda 100% .
