I try not to overdo the links to Frank Rich, but damn, he's good. Here he is on the current status of gay rights, and the weird mix of progress and stasis that characterizes it.
The gay civil rights movement has fewer obstacles in its path than did Dr. King’s Herculean mission to overthrow the singular legacy of slavery. That makes it all the more shameful that it has fewer courageous allies in Washington than King did. If “American Idol” can sing out for change on Fox in prime time, it ill becomes Obama, of all presidents, to remain mute in the White House.
