"Standing up for your gay friend" by Winter Miller | October 18, 2008
IT SURE was nice to see Barack Obama stand up for Roe v. Wade in Wednesday's debate. It would also have been nice if he'd stood up for gay marriage. But no one mentioned gay marriage in any of the presidential debates and, what's more, Obama doesn't support gay marriage.
As this election unfolds, I'm trying to figure out whom I'm most angered by, Obama or all the straight people I know who haven't stood up for gay rights. If the majority doesn't clamor for change, then politicians have no reason to go out on a limb.
They don't anyway; Bush still getting everything he wants, and the wars are funded without end.
As a gay woman, it is unlikely I would need access to abortion. Still, I believe all women regardless of age, income, or circumstance should have a right to choose abortion.
Clearly, the battle is to be fought not at the federal level, but state by state. Three states have legalized gay marriage; Massachusetts was the pioneer in 2004, followed by California in 2008, and Connecticut last week. In Vermont, New Jersey, and New Hampshire, civil unions are recognized. There are domestic partner laws permitting partial benefits found in civil unions in Oregon, Hawaii, Maine, and Washington.
And if a state says NO, you guys are just going to ACCEPT IT, right? Right?
Yeah, that's what I thought!!
The must-do list is long: gay rights, hate-crime deterrents, universal healthcare, equal access to equally good schools, and more - in short, all the things each of us would want for our families, especially when we find ourselves holding the short end of the stick.
The next time you see your gay friend/relative/neighbor, think about the rights you were born into and the rights of others for which you've fought. Ask yourself if you can go beyond your comfort zone to advocate for the right for all of us, regardless of gender, race, sexuality, ability, or religion, to pursue and achieve liberty and happiness. --more--"
