Have gays become invisible on our Sunday talk shows?
Gays have seen two recent, huge victories in federal court. One was Judge Walker's decision striking down prop 8, which took place on Aug 5, 2010 and this week we had the DADT decision out of California. Both of these were major legal victories that have the possibility of being game changers for LGBT citizens. Yet not one word, not a single, solitary, word was uttered about these decisions on either Meet The Press or This Week. Simply amazing.

5. I think a case which might cause 6% of the nation to live fully equal lives
deserves at least a minute or two on a roundtable about weekly events.

talk about left wing achievements? It isn't like we've got the Fairness Doctrine or a free press. Our media costs big buckos.
