Margaret Cho on What legal rights to a relationship of consenting adults should be available for same-sex couples?

"Right now it’s unequal, and it’s a problem"

From an interview with the Dallas Voice:

Both Hillary and Obama can’t manage stoop low enough to give gays full equal marriage rights. Why would you say to gays who are like, “What’s the deal with either of you two phony Democrats who are trying to represent the minority face of our nation?”

One of my reasons for joining the Obama campaign is to have some sort of influence in that regard — to make sure that the gay marriage issue isn’t forgotten. Gay marriage isn’t about marriage — it’s about equality. It’s about looking at gays and lesbians as absolutely at the same level place of all our citizens. Right now it’s unequal, and it’s a problem.
