Whats Next for the Gay-Rights Movement?

Whats Next for the Gay-Rights Movement? | PinkieB.com | LGBTQ+ Life | Scoop.it

You know you've won when the companies that sell to the mass market of middle America are hurrying to show that they're friendly to your cause.

William Cohen's comment, September 29, 2013 7:41 AM
Agreed, the gay rights movement has marched ahead successfully. It has done so by replacing its former emphasis on sexual freedom/sexual flamboyance in favor of marriage equality, relationships, gay family stability, adoption, LGBT fatherhood and motherhood. In a sense, a middle ground has been reached with conservative America which espoused these values for hundreds of years. Is this a victory for gay rights? In a practical sense--absolutely!

Have you seen this silly image of same- and opposite-shape pasta couples in your social feeds yet?
