"The Arc Of The Moral Universe Is Long But It Bends Towards Justice..."

First Pride March in NYC, June 1970

“We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths — that all of us are created equal — is the star that guides us still, just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall,” 
-Barack H. Obama

In yesterday's New York Times, political columnist, John Harwood examined the remarkable progress of the gay rights movement and the sea change that has occurred in less than 50 years since 1969's Stonewall Uprising.  

Indeed, our progress has been incredible to experience... In my own lifetime, I have personally gone from fear and denial to the courage to accept myself and live my life openly.  It is a rare time in the history of our nation and a privilege to be a part of the fight that brings us one step closer to that fundamental and most evident of truths, that all of us are created equal.
