IT IS SOMETIMES DONE with baby steps, other times with great leaps, and every so often it's done in circles. Still, advocates and enemies alike would have a difficult time denying that modern history has seen the GLBT community moving steadily in the direction of full equality.
The value of a particular step may, however, be difficult to gauge at the time. Some who remember the Stonewall Riots say they didn't regard the moment as historic. Then again, those masses at the 2000 Millennium March on Washington may have thought they were heralding in a new gay millennium. Maybe they were. Time will judge.

The Human Rights Campaign is taking President Obama to task following the release of a controversial Justice Department brief that defends the Defense of Marriage Act.
“As an American, a civil rights advocate, and a human being, I hold this administration to a higher standard than this brief,” Solmonese wrote.
Shin Inouye, a White House spokesperson, said in response that Obama “remains strongly committed to signing a legislative repeal of DOMA into law and looks forward to seeing Congress take action.”

Lane Hudson of the Huffington Post wrote an awesome article regarding the LGBT civil rights movement.
I urge you to go and read his thoughts, and if you feel the same about these principles below, help make this declaration go viral. Send it to everyone and anyone, all the city, state, and federal politicians. Send it to your neighbors, your friends, your family, and let them know this: This is more than just DADT or DOMA; this is about equality. We don’t just want these rights for ourselves, our families. We demand the freedom of all people in every nation to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. Our fight is all of our fights. People have to stand up and say they care about their fellow man on these issues and all issues of human rights.
Readers globally, please help this go viral. I know this pertains particularly to America, and Obama, but speak up for those protesters i

As anyone who has been following my blogging here will know, I've been pushing very hard to hold folks accountable for a stunningly absent effort to end discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in our code of laws. It's become even more important to me as we elected a visionary man to the Presidency and a wide Democratic Majority in both houses of Congress.
Lately, there has been increasing public discourse on issues like Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Marriage Equality, and the Defense of Marriage Act, among others. For the first time, mainstream media such as Jake Tapper and Bill Press are asking tough questions in the White House briefing room. Things are definitely changing. Except they're not really changing.
It's about raising the bar for all stakeholders: LGBT people, allies, organizations, politicians, the media, any anyone else wit
