The arc of history is long, but it bends toward justice. This week, the President of the United States came out for marriage equality. People may argue that it doesn't matter, that it doesn't change the hearts and minds of bigots, that laws are still the same. But I think it matters a lot. The most powerful man in the world just acknowledged that gay men and women deserve the same rights as their straight counterparts. He acknowledged that a civil union is not the same as marriage.
We've passed the tipping point. Never again will we have a Democratic nominee for President against marriage equality. The question is, how long will it be before the other party climbs out of its cave?
