It has just been reported that the committee charged with drafting the platform for the Democratic Natioinal Convention has unanimously agreed to include a plank in support of marriage equality.
This will of course have to be approved by the full Platform Committee and then voted on by members at the Convention in Charlotte. But there was little opposition in the committee, at least since President Obama announced his support for gay marriage.
The walls are falling down . . . ever more rapidly.

A Pew Research poll has just been released showing that almost a majority (48%) of Americans now favor marriage equality.
ReplyDeleteAnd even this impressive number is dwarfed by the support among Democrats who favor marriage equality by 65%, with only 29% opposed.
This is up from 50/42 just 4 years ago. Shows what leadership speaking out can do. Thank you, President Obama.
