Marriage Equality Juggernaut Rolls on.

by: Jay Lassiter

Wed Feb 20, 2008 at 10:01:19 AM EST



Nestled snug between a Baked Lays taste test and their ubiquitous traffic reports, there was Garden State Equality's new South Jersey bureau chief (and Blue Jersey alum) Brian McGinnis --aka SJBrian -- taking the equality debate to FOX 29.

Now for those of you who know how hard going on live TV can be, you recognize this as a command performance.

When someone can't get into the ER to see their sick partner, that's a breach of human dignity.  When someone has to fight until their last breath to ensure their parter will receive thier pension benefits, that's a breach of human dignity.  When someone is denied heath insurance because their partner is gay, that's a breach of basic human dignity.

The legislature promised us that Civil Unions would fix all that AND IT DIDN'T.

And so the fight goes on: in the trenches, in the statehouse, in the progressive community and -- as Brian demonstrates -- on the airwaves.

Thanks! (4.00 / 5)
Jay- Thanks so much for posting this and for your kind words. It was my first time on TV (and I wish I hadn't stumbled over easy words like 'Vermont' and 'Massachusetts', but hey)

Seriously though, like Steven said in the videoblog yesterday, the allies we're counting on in the fight for marriage equality are our straight progressive allies-- like much of the progressive community at Blue Jersey.


Great Job Brian!!! You Did Fine!!! Fox WAS "Fair and Balanced" (for Once!) A Good Sign!!! n/t (0.00 / 0)
