Gay Rights Advance



It's been an amazing last few days for gay rights in America. The Vermont legislature approved same-sex marriage, so I guess that means the Christian right-wing crazies and their Republican cohorts will have to find someone else to blame besides "activist judges." Iowa's Supreme Court overturned the state's gay marriage ban, and my new hero is Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal telling his homophobic colleagues to shove it. Washington D.C. is on the verge of recognizing same-sex unions from other states, and Obama invited gay families to the White House for the annual Easter Egg Roll. Keep hope alive, California! We're approaching the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots and we're in the middle of the biggest revolution in years. The time is now.

I'd like to hug Mike Gronstal. I loved that line "You've already lost." Great clip. Thanks for posting it.

No, Collin. Human rights advance. We advancing toward equality. We are all more alike than different. Our differences matter but not as much as our humanity. This isn't about being gay; it's about confirming what we know, gay people are fully human.

Helen, I don't disagree with you. I used gay rights in the title because it picks up better hits and views. If you look at the labels, you will see civil and human rights are present. :)
