#EvolveAlready

GetEQUAL has put out a new video and this one is directed at the President. Made up from a collection of Twitter messages, it's urging our leader to take a harder stance for GLBT rights and to fight for equality for ALL of America's citizens.

I know I've said this before, but it deserves to be repeated. My son and all other GLBT individuals face discrimination at every turn.In Michigan, he can be fired from his job or denied housing, just based on his orientation. While gay marriage has passed in some states, here it's still not legal. Plus, the American Red Cross still is refusing to take blood donations from gay and bisexual men.
