That unfortunately is the nature of politics, no politician...right or left...is ever in a hurry to take a stand on a controversial issue. Before we blame the politicians however we need to understand that the fact that equal rights is ever a controversial issue says much about society, folks are slow to accept those that they perceive as "different" and old fears lead to hatred and intolerance...the good news is that America is on the right path as uphill as it may be at times.
