Matt Baume’s weekly news video focusing on marriage equality. This week Baume looks at an anti-gay North Carolina caught by The New Civil Rights Movement’s Scott Rose falsifying his resume, along with 2010 census info on LGBT couples, and Obama’s “evolving?” position on marriage.
Baume says,
President Obama’s doing everything right for the LGBT community — except marriage. An anti-gay senator from North Carolina is things up again. And Senators in Rhode Island and Maine need to hear from you.
…Meanwhile, Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine admitted this week that she doesn’t even know what DOMA is. So if you live in Maine, you might might want to clue her in at Collins.Senate.Gov.
…
After Senator Jim Forrester said that gay people die disproportionately early — which is simply not true — some folks took a closer look at his background and discovered that he claims membership in several professional medical organizations. The only problem? Some of those medical organizations say that they’ve never heard of him.
In national news, yet another survey this week shows more people supporting the freedom to marry than opposing. The research from the University of Chicago indicates a plurality of Americans on the side of marriage equality, with just 40% against us.
Thanks, Matt!
