Gay rights marching forward
In a flurry of gay rights events in Washington, D.C. this weekend, President Obama pledged to end the military's "don’t ask, don't tell" policy at Human Rights Campaign's annual dinner, and participants in the National Equality March spoke out for gays' and lesbians' right to marry and serve without discrimination in the military. Meanwhile, Maine and Washington State debate whether to legalize homosexual marriage. Will backlash follow, or are gay rights gaining momentum and popular acceptance?
