Kushner on Obama and Gay Rights
Gay & Lesbian Issues & Activism
VideoNation : Leading gay rights activist Tony Kushner explains why Obama's first year signals a bright future for LGBT issues.
This week, Nick Penniman, executive director of the Huffington Post Investigative Fund and the founder and director of The American News Project, speaks at the 2009 Nation/Campus Progress Student Journalism Conference about the impending chaotic media landscape.
