The fight for marriage equality could have turned out very differently.
Imagine it’s 1989. Congress is about to pass a law forcing nonprofits to disclose their donors. The groups don’t get involved in elections, but they do call on elected officials to support or oppose specific policies like marriage equality. The politicians who oppose it are the ones pushing this law. They want to see who’s really behind the so-called “radical homosexual agenda.”
Imagine how the advocates of marriage equality feel after the law passes. There aren’t many, but they’re running a nationwide campaign. A courageous few are publicly leading the cause, while many more are supporting it behind the scene, including through nonprofits. They’re quietly making space for others to join a groundswell of support.

Apple, Google face antitrust hearing on Capitol Hill Follow Us
Question of the Day
By Ryan Lovelace - The Washington Times - Tuesday, April 20, 2021
Apple and Google are set to square off with lawmakers Wednesday over whether the companies’ app stores violate antitrust rules.
Apple resisted appearing at the Capitol Hill hearing but ultimately accepted the invitation from lawmakers, who are looking to crack down on tech and will put the app stores under a microscope.
The Senate antitrust panel hearing is likely to yield tense exchanges between the companies and Republicans, who are furious over their censorship practices, and Democrats, who think the companies have too much power.

I take absolutely no joy in saying this, but my job is to tell it like it is and not try to blow sunshine up anyone’s backside: the gun control bills that are expected to start moving in the House this week are almost guaranteed to be approved and sent to the U.S. Senate. H.R. 8, which would impose a one-year federal prison sentence on gun owners who transferred a firearm without first going through a background check, and H.R. 1446, which would allow the FBI to delay transfers done through an FFL for ten days (and indefinitely in some circumstances) as opposed to the three-day limit currently allowed by law, aren’t going to get out the House with wide margins, but bills only need a bare majority to pass there.
