We're not already there?

Michigan Radio created a 50 minute documentary "Unequal by Law: Being Gay in Michigan." It covers adoption by gay parents, the challenge to the gay marriage ban, gays missing from the civil rights law (a large percentage of people assume we're already there), gay rights v. religious rights (would they say the same thing if it was rights of blacks?), conflict between anti-gay and pro-gay religious groups, transgender rights and gender police, and recent changes in the political landscape. It was broadcast last week. I listened to it online. I'm pretty sure some of the segments were previously broadcast separately.

I'm delighted our public radio network put out the effort for such a well thought out and comprehensive look at our situation here in Michigan.
