A New Civil Rights Movement

A new civil rights movement is gradually gaining more support, and for good reason. People are fighting for the rights of homosexuals all across the country with more people voicing their opinions because the recent debate over both Don't Ask Don't Tell and California's Proposition 8. Rights should not be limited to specific parts of society, homosexuals should be able to have the same freedoms as all other citizens of this country including same-sex marriage. With Don't Ask Don't Tell constantly trying to be debated in the senate, and constantly being filibustered the progress is slow. Also with California enacting Proposition 8 the only state that sold same-sex marriage licenses has also stopped doing so. Our country to keep denying homosexuals their rights is very backwards and truly unbecoming of our potential as a nation.
