Our Revolution Will Not Be Televised

As I'd written about in the last blog, Jon Stewart on the Dec. 10 edition of The Daily Show took much of Mike Huckabee's philosophies on the gay and lesbian community to task. Interestingly enough, the entire argument pertained to the same-sex marriage fight. To summarize, Stewart noted below:
"I think it's a shame that they have forced gay people (in California) to have to make their case that they deserve the same rights as someone else."
Marriage ... is the bellwether of whether "gay people ... deserve the same rights as someone else." Not to belabor the point, but it must be made: this is the most recent item to come to the table. Any number of other issues pertinent to GLBT have been on the front burner for some time, and are suddenly (and notably) absent.
