True dat, but most reform begins in a hypocritical environment, if you think about it. The Obama admin. has fallen short on a number of things, but they've done very well re: gay rights. End of DADT, withdrawing legal defense of DOMA, and now this.

 

As much as conservatives (Rick Perry, for ex.) may frame this as a 'special rights for gays' issue, the US should can and should discourage countries like Cameroon and Uganda from executing people just for being gay, using foreign aid as an incentive.

seems ironic that we'd tell other countries to be nice to gay folk when we still have discriminatory laws ourselves? same as it ever was though i suppose...
Well, it's par for the course... after all, America is the World's Policeman, isn't it?

 

We have a curious penchant for telling other folks across the globe how to live, when our own backyard still needs to have the dog poop cleaned up... :crazy:

Yes, folks like Perry are clueless. This is not a "special" rights issue. This is an issue of finally giving GLBTs the same rights that everybody except them enjoys. How does the opposition not understand that???
