  1. Chuck Hagel's mea culpa to the LGBT community

    A few days ago there was speculation that President Obama would introduce two Cabinet nominees last week -- Sen. John Kerry for secretary of State and former Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska for secretary of Defense. But Kerry stood alone with Obama on Friday.

Though success in this state was matched by others in Maine, Minnesota and Washington, the victory of the Vote for Question 6 campaign in particular provides an important blueprint for the future, especially as marriage equality inevitably moves forward in other states with significant African-American populations.
