There has been some question as to Bernie Sanders’ concern for racial injustice. Of course, economic justice, which would most benefit minorities, is a lifetime calling for Senator Sanders. But, I do understand that for some, it is not enough.

Would you say the fight for reproductive rights is over in 2015? I didn’t think so. Much the same can be said for marriage equality, even after yesterday’s landmark Supreme Court ruling. Because no matter how much we may perceive a “rights issue” as finally reaching its pinnacle, in this case, capped by a 5-4 Supreme Court ruling making marriage equality the law in all 50 states, it doesn’t automatically change the minds of the regressive opposition.

This has to be one of the more unusual issues for people to cheer about, but it’s a big deal.

You know, there’s a lot of that going around these days. People born into white privilege are increasingly screwed in today’s America. They don’t stand a chance!

Do you hear those voices of bigoted dissent? Do you hear those decrying today’s DOMA and Prop 8 rulings by the Supreme Court? Do you hear the people talking about children and family as if they represent the final authority on such matters?

Conservative opponents of same-sex marriage will likely point to a new Pew study as evidence of liberal media bias.
