Gay Rights

In the media today all we hear about is gay rights, look on twitter-gay rights, Facebook you see your stream blowing up about gay rights.  This is at the for front of Americas mind due to prop 8.  Now dont get me wrong I am a huge advocate for gay rights, and believe that everyone should get the right to marry the person they were meant to be with.  But this explosion of gay rights has placed immigration and other issues on the back burner.  The media goes into waves of issues, Gay rights, before that Gun control, this pattern has been occurring for years, and years.  But my question is what causes it, what causes people to stand up and care.  A lot of it is social media, when people start making a fuss, and sharing posts then the media sees it, and takes notice.  For instance gay rights have been a long discussed topic that cause a lot of heat for some people.  But gay rights became large when people started making a fuss about it.  The Supreme Court hears quite a few cases, but we only hear about a few of them.  What makes us hear about then today is our social media, our tweets, posts, instagrams all allow us to have our voices heard.  The media has taken a lot of notice because of how much attention their viewers have put on their own personal social media sites.  The media takes notice of its audience, if it didnt care and dint want to put a spin on things then it would be CSPAN.  CNN, Fox, Newsweek, etc, all care about ratings, so they will give the audience what they want.
     Gay rights is a civl rights movement, and I think the next should be Immigration.  As of now we do not give either of these body of people the rights they deserve, because they are different.  But how do we make people see this?  By Social Media, if we start making a stink and letting our voices heard then we can make a difference.  The media will see what America wants, and talk about it, which in turn will pressure legislation to take notice as well.  Lets get this train started!
