The boss on the barricades

It's always good when cultural icons (although I don't really like that word) stand on the barricades for a worthy human rights cause.

South Africa has a reasonable liberal, open-minded constitution, but that's not the case in many parts of the world.

Bruce Springsteen, aka The Boss, has issued a statement in support of the so called marriage-equality law that is being debated in his home state of New Jersey, USA. Bruce rightly states that equal rights for same sex couples is a civil rights issue. He wants the voices who believe in equal rights for every citizen to be heard and to be heard loud and clearly.

Right on Bruce, right on.
