YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDemocracyNow.org - In a historic announcement, President Obama has become the first U.S. president to support same sex-marriage. We get reaction from acclaimed playwright and activist Tony Kushner. In 2003, he and his partner became the first same sex couple to appear in the Vows section of the New York Times. "I felt the earth move," Kushner says. "It's one of those moments where you feel a corner being rounded and the groundwork for change being prepared. It's been astonishing to watch over the years, the slow but steady progress of marriage rights [and] the enfranchisement of the LGBT community -- a pace faster than I anticipated it would be. It's incredibly moving."
