Spotlight on Gay Rights
This morning, Forum guests answer the question – is Obama's honeymoon over? In recent weeks, Obama's liberal supporters say he hasn't moved quickly enough on a variety of issues including gay rights, ending the war and saving the environment. Forum guest Geoff Kors is the executive director of Equality California, a non-profit civil rights organization that advocates for the rights of LGBT people in California. Kors decries Obama's inaction on issues once mentioned as top priorities during his campaign. He says members of the LGBT community are being denied very basic rights and that Obama has the opportunity to speak forcibly on these issues. Kors would like to see more action on the 'don’t ask don’t tell' policy, employment discrimination, and on repealing the defense of marriage act.
YMI is focusing on gay rights this week, leading up to San Francisco's Gay Pride parade this Sunday.We hope to address some of the issues Kors raises and also showcase stories on gay culture. For more,check out our preview of the week.
