It’s been a long time coming, and it felt like it was just a matter of time since President Obama supported it. But now it looks like marriage equality has the support to make it to the final platform.
Leaders of the Democratic Party have apparently agreed to include language endorsing same-sex marriage in the party’s 2012 platform, to be ratified at the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C.
The formal platform language will be hammered out when the party’s platform committee convenes in Detroit in mid-August.
It has been a lot of work from a lot of committed activists for decades to bring us to this point. And of course there’s still a long way to go before it’s the law of the land in all 50 states. But the tide is turning. If this happens, it’ll be an important step along the way.
Maybe they can get Dick Cheney to attend. I hear there might be some empty seats.
@1 No, you’re confused, this is the Democratic convention Carl is talking about. The one you’re thinking of is in Tampa.
So I guess you DUMMOCRAPTS support hate!
