Does it get better, Mr. Vice President? Can we legally marry, visit our significant others in the hospital, receive the same tax benefits as heterosexual couples, serve openly in the military, not have to worry about hate crimes for walking down the street hand-in-hand with our loved one?
It hasn’t gotten better, that’s the lie here. We get older and wiser, but it doesn’t get better. We become jaded, stuck in our state of learned helplessness, and succumb to the heteronormative culture that surrounds us.
You, however, Mr. Vice President, and your boss, do have the power to ensure it gets better and you’ve done little since your election to significantly move our country forward on gay rights.
