In October of 2009 the National Equality March brought over 200,000 people from all across the land to the nation’s capitol to demand the federal government put gay rights on the top of their list.
Since then, the movement is at a crossroads- we have the people, the money, and the will, but there is a raging debate on how best to proceed.
Today we have the the cute and fabulous Nik Maciejewski, project coordinator for Equality Across America, the gay rights group that emerged from the historic march. He’s here to talk about how to keep the equality movement diverse and at the same time unified.
Listen as we talk about the vital issues that must be addressed. And wouldn’t it just be easier to hire Lady Gaga to become the MLK for gays?

i think one big issue in getting these laws passed and so forth is that there is not enough motivation in enough people to put on big demonstrations or really pressure politicians….it is happening of course..but its definately not on the same scale as the civil rights movement back in the day..as far as demonstrating goes..uhhh sorta >_> i just think if you had people in the hundreds doings stuff all at the same time it would have more of an impact, whether its doing demonstrations or calling politicians and so forth.
Oh come on, boys… do I need to take away your gay cards? How could you possibly forget the campy 80′s psychic comedy “Vibes” starring none other than our illustrious Cyndi Lauper?
Did that really happen?
