A Sea Change in Less Than 50 Years as Gay Rights Gained Momentum; New York Times, 3/25/13

John Harwood, New York Times; A Sea Change in Less Than 50 Years as Gay Rights Gained Momentum: "The struggle for African-Americans’ rights, symbolized by the bloody 1965 Selma march, is as old as the nation. The effort for American women’s rights began at Seneca Falls, N.Y., more than 150 years ago. The modern fight for gay rights is, by contrast, less than a half-century old, dating from the 1969 Stonewall uprising in New York. But this week, as the Supreme Court hears two landmark cases on same-sex marriage, the speed and scope of the movement are astonishing supporters."
