The Daily Show

This Thursday on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart ran a segment on two events concerning homosexuality in the news. The first event was of a male who had a lesbian boss and was fired because he told his boss that he thought her lesbian lifestyle was wrong. First, of all the segment he ran was from Fox news and secondly, the worker who was fired was Christian. The two groups in America who have been destroying the chance of any rights for gays in America for years. It is just ridiculous to me that in our modern society conservative religion is still dictating politics.

However, he showed some hope in the next part of the segment where a ten year old Elementary school student will not say the pledge of allegiance in school until there is equal rights for all Americans including gays. It amazes me that a ten year old child can have more sense about what is right, than a man in his late twenties. The student is also facing ridicule from other children in school and is being called a "gaywad", yet week after week he still refuses to say the pledge of allegiance. Hopefully this child will one day help get equal rights for gays in America.
