The State of Equality

September 2010 (00:28:00)

In 2008, President Barack Obama secured the LGBT vote, promising full equality for the community. Two years later, many are critical of the pace of change. This month on IN THE LIFE, we ask if the man in the White House is an advocate for gay rights, and service members talk to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) about 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.'

Politics of Progress

DOWNLOAD SEGMENT

President Obama's inauguration marked more than one historic first; our first Black President is also the first American President to publicly identify as an ally of the LGBT community. In his two years in office, Obama has signed presidential memorandums expanding federal benefits to same-sex partners and extended federal protections to LGBT victims of hate crimes. But so far, his administration has not fulfilled the change he promised on key issues like The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), The Employee Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) and 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.' In response to growing frustration, some new LGBT rights groups are using aggressive tactics to push for full equality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a podcast?

"Podcasting" is a combination of the words "iPod" and "Broadcasting". It is a method of distributing files over the Internet for playback on computers or portable devices (such as iPods). Although many podcasts only include audio files, IN THE LIFE's podcasts are video files.

How do I use a podcast?

These files should download directly into iTunes on your computer. The videos can then be viewed directly on your computer, or transfered to a portable device with video capabilities.

What if I don't have iTunes on my computer?

You can download iTunes free from Apple.

How long will the podcast download take?

Because these podcasts include full-length video files, they may take a while to download. Depending on your connection speed, they may take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours.

Will the podcast update automatically when a new episode is available?

If you have iTunes (version 4.9 or later), you can use it to subscribe to any podcast channel, and all past, present, and future audio files in that channel will be automatically downloaded to your computer (and to your iPod, when you connect it). To do this, simply select the "Subscribe to Podcast" option from the "Advanced" menu in iTunes.

What if my firewall prevents the files from downloading?

Be sure to make an exception in your firewall to allow file transfer from www.inthelifetv.org.
