A year in review with Matt Baume

Needless to say, 2012 has been a wonderful year for equality. Obama is in office again, two states voted to pass same-sex marriage, the Supreme Court decided they would hear the Prop 8 and DOMA cases, and the polls are on our side. Support for equality is growing, and will only continue growing. With all that was going on, it’s good to have a review and for that we have Matt Baume from the Americans For Equal Rights.

Watch Matt Baume of the American Foundation for Equal Rights break down NOM’s claims step-by-step after the jump. Continue reading
