Via Towleroad: Lance Black makes the point that there is never a convenient time to grant full and equal rights. I am much more comfortable with voices like his and like that of Richard Socarides (former Clinton advisor) when it comes to being sharply critical of President Obama without careening into hysterical threats to leave the Democratic party and/or never again vote for him. I guess you could say I am a within-the-system person, but not complacent.

It is interesting that Lance brings up Clinton-era mistakes in front of a Clinton-era figure.
