Talking Marriage, DOMA, ENDA & DADT on TBD
This morning, I joined Bruce DePuyt for NewsTalk, the TBD.com/News Channel 8 daily news program to talk about the multitude of recent LGBT developments over the past couple weeks.
On a panel with Rev. John Crestwell of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Annapolis and Pete Tucker, a progressive blogger who writes at TheFightBack.org, we discussed marriage in New York and Maryland, the Defense of Marriage Act and the Respect for Marriage Act, and the changing landscape on the issue.
Among the other topics discussed was the lack of movement on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act in this Congress or the past one. Also mentioned: the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and anti-bullying legislation.
The segment begins at 35:50. Watch below:
