But while this month is a celebration of the rights this community has obtained thus far, it is important to remember that there is still much to do. Michealangelo Signorile, radio talk show host and a leading voice for gay activism, is here to tell us why homophobia is still very much an issue that this community faces and what's next in their fight. Daily Show Correspondent Rips Congress on Gun Control - Last week in our nation's capitol, both elected representatives and the media gathered to break bread at the 72nd Annual Radio and Television Correspondents' Association Dinner. The night, normally intended for putting partisanship aside and enjoying each others company, usually involves a few laughs courtesy of a featured entertainer. But this year's speaker, Daily Show Correspondent Hasan Minhaj, wasn't there just for the comedy. We listen in to his sobering speech concerning gun control laws in the wake of the Orlando massacre.
