Marry me, Frank Rich

Ahhh after a much-needed 12 hours of sleep to recover from Pride weekend, I woke up to read this. While I still find calling the Gay Rights movement the Civil Rights movement of our era slightly uncomfortable, Rich outlines the clear historical connections between the two fights for equality.

Also, the anecdote that the Times didn't allow the use of the word gay until 1987 is stunning.
