Welcome to My World with Keith Olbermann Special Commentary Gay
Marriage: A Question of Love from November 10, 2008
"Finally tonight as promised, a Special Comment on the passage, last week, of Proposition Eight in California, which
rescinded the right of same-sex couples to marry, and tilted the balance on this issue, from coast to coast. Some
parameters, as preface. This isn't about yelling, and this isn't about politics, and this isn't really just about Prop-8.
And I don't have a personal investment in this: I'm not gay, I had to strain to think of one member of even my very extended
family who is, I have no personal stories of close friends or colleagues fighting the prejudice that still pervades their
lives. And yet to me this vote is horrible. Horrible. Because this isn't about yelling, and this
isn't about politics. This is about the human heart, and if that sounds corny, so be it...." the Link to the video: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27650743/ Listen
to all of this very powerful and special commentary by linking to the above MSNBC website. The written version is with the link to the video. Note: A message from PFLAG National President
about the election and constitutional ammendments is on the News and Events page
