The gay rights movement of recent years has been an inspiring victory for humanity and it is in the tradition of the civil rights movement when i was a young boy in the south, the women's suffrage movement when my mother was a young woman in tennessee, the abolition movement much farther back, and the anti-apartheid movement when i was in the house of representatives. all of these movements have one thing in common: the opposition to progress was rooted in an outdated understanding of morality.

The civil rights movement didn't deal with the issue of political disenfranchisement in the northern cities. it didn't deal with the issues that were happening in places like detroit, where there was a deep process of deindustrialization going on. so you have this response of angry young people, with a war going on in vietnam, a poverty program that was insufficient, and police brutality. all these things gave rise to the black power movement. the black power movement was not a separation from the civil rights movement, but a continuation of this whole process of democratization.
