Since we last spoke
with John Nichols of The Nation a lot has happened, from
Republicans in the US House of Representatives passing their latest version of
Trumpcare to a major victory in the fight against the global spread of Trumpism
in France. John returns to the show
today to talk all about these issues and whole lot more, John is The Nation’s national-affairs
correspondent, a contributing writer for TheProgressive and In These Times
and the associate editor of The Capital Times, the daily newspaper in Madison, Wisconsin.
Next month, marriage
equality across the US will be celebrating its two year celebration, as the
Obergefell decision from the Supreme Court required states to start issuing
marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples.
And while the sky hasn’t fallen, many opponents of rights for gay and
lesbian couples said that would be the case if same sex marriage were to
happen. So how did we fight
against that hatred and get to where we are today? LGBT Historian Nathaniel Frank, author of Awakening: How Gay And Lesbians Brought Marriage Equality to America, joins me now to talk about the tumultuous
history of the movement.
