Combating “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and Winning Civil Unions

In this show the Gay Liberation Network’s Bob Schwartz and Andy Thayer discuss the significance and real politic that went into Illinois’s new civil unions legislation.

On a related note, they discuss the Obama administration’s cynical, go-slow approach to dismantling the military’s anti-gay “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy – which developed urgency only when a Log Cabin Republican lawsuit looked like they’d beat the administration to the finish line.
