Perspectives on Same-sex Marriage
Civil right or regressive politics?
Lowell Denny
As a gay black man living with job uncertainty, I believe deeply in progressive politics and the active role that government should play in improving the material lives of people. The denial of civil rights to any group is to be fought, just as African Americans fought, as women fought, as Latinos fought, as labor movements fought.
