An Answer To Prop 8
Greenwald advocates repealing DOMA. Well: it's part of the Obama platform. But my own view is that the advocacy work should take precedence. I'm uncomfortable with a legal strategy alone. We need to do a much better job of communicating the moderate, conservative reasons for why marriage equality is a great thing for all of us. We need especially to get more serious about the African-American community. I've been writing about the racial divide on gay rights and HIV since 1990; there has not been much progress since. And there are still some gay black leaders whose refusal to accept that gays have a huge problem with the African-American population has impeded efforts to foment change.
