College Dems endorse GLBT rights
By punch bowl | December 8, 2007
Go figure, right?
The chair of the University of Wisconsin - Madison College Democrats penned an article endorsing GLBT rights, framing the issue as a “civil rights” struggle.
In every generation, there is a struggle to create a more just society. From our founding fathers’ struggle to re-concentrate the most basic powers of governance to the people to the women’s rights movement and the struggle for racial equality, our nation is in a constant battle to redefine itself for the better.
While our efforts are still needed, and battles are still being fought in the aforementioned movements, the LGBT rights movement has emerged as a prominent front in our generation’s civil rights battle. The front line of this battle has become the right to marry. And just like the many other struggles in the history of this country, there are those who strive to achieve justice and those who are frightened by it.
