Anderson Cooper: Professional Truth-Teller

Anderson Cooper: You say people are harping on it- do you understand why some people might be concerned?  I mean, if some people were talking about putting Jews behind electrified fences, I imagine that would be of concern to you.
Stacy Pritchard: Well, you know, it's not...  Here we go again, you know, nobody's gonna put them behind an electric fence.
Anderson Cooper: Well actually, that has happened, it's called the Holocaust.  It has happened.  You said nobody's gonna kill homosexuals, homosexuals are killed all around the world.  It's happening right now in Iraq, it's happening right now in Iran-
Stacy Pritchard: Yeah, well, this is 2012.
Anderson Cooper: Right, it's happening right now in 2012 in Iraq and Iran.
 (Stacy Pritchard proceeds to splutter.)

Then do something about it. Don’t tell us what you think we should be able to do. Tell us what you’re going to do to make it happen. Obama still wants marriage rights to be left up to the states…

…so good for those eight states that allow same-sex marriage… for the rest of you… good luck with that(?). = Political points with little risk and no actual substantive movement on the issue whatsoever.

I feel like this is doing something about it. Equality isn’t just going to arrive because the president wants it to. Many in our nation are still against same-sex marriage, and if we really, truly believe in democracy, minds need to be changed before the law changes. Its not up to the government to make same-sex marriage okay, it’s up to the people.
