So I was going to write this long, drawn-out piece on the limitations of confining the entire LGBTQ liberation movement into "same-sex marriage." I was going to go off about Obama's "convenient" announcement yesterday that he now supports same-sex marriage. And to stave off accusations of total negativity, I was also going to tie in the silver lining: that NC's Amendment 1 has ignited a movement that is focusing on issues far broader than "marriage equality," that its passage has turned normal, everyday people from pro-equality voters to activists for complete uncompromising social justice.
But then I read this piece at Black Girl Dangerous and realized Mia McKenzie says it better than I could ever hope to...
Obama Loves Queers! (Except Not)
