David Letterman Supports Marriage Equality

David Letterman in an interview with Donald Trump has come out in favor of marriage equality. This is a clear turn from his earlier transphobic commentary on the "pregnant man" and his mockery of the movie MILK. During the interview the subject of Carrie Prejean comes up and Trump says he doesn't think that a "man marrying a woman is a controversial subject" in which Letterman replies saying "let’s just go right on the record and say that anybody who wants to get married ought to be able to get married"



Thank the Late Show with David Letterman for his support for marriage equality:

Open Forum: Miss California's Effect on the Gay Rights Movement

In what now has become an infamous event, Miss California the runner up who publicly stated she opposed same-sex marriage during the Miss USA pageant, has become the center of a media frenzy. The media has been obsessed with Carrie Prejean, her crown, her nude photos, her coined term "opposite-sex marriage" and whether she should be entitled to remain Miss California.

The left wing media has painted this woman a bigot, and a lying idiot who violated the rules, whereas the right-wing media has painted her as the new patron saint of the "traditional marriage" movement. Regardless about how you feel about Carrie Prejean, she certainly is having her 15 minutes of fame, and getting everyone to pine in about it.

Does Miss California help or hurt the gay rights movement? On one hand gay rights activists are being called hateful, and censoring, on the other hand this brings the issue to the forefront again, bringing many of our allies and big time celebrities have come out to speak about why marriage equality is a civil rights issue. When this is all over and we look back, will we see Carrie Prejean as the modern day Anita Bryant, or is that giving her too much credit?
