A Quick Catch Up on LGBT Rights

So much has been happening in the world of civil rights, especially when it comes to gay marriage. A couple weeks ago, the state of Washington legalized gay marriage. I wanted to post this interview from Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell and Representative Maureen Walsh who happens to be Republican with a lesbian daughter. It is definitely worth taking a look.

I also wanted to make sure that people understand what is happening in New Jersey. Both the state senate, and the state house of representatives have passed a bill that will allow gay marriage in the state. The governor, Chris Christie then last Friday, vetoed the bill and stated that it only be far in a public election. There is a huge difficulty when an issue with a minority gets put up to vote by the majority. This Newsy Politics video helps get my point across much better.
