This tweet from Media Matters' Carlos Maza provides a glimpse of some of that history:
The front-page article on the left is about the defeat of a local gay rights law during the 1970s. The article on the right deals with the beginning of same-sex marriages in Florida, which began in Miami-Dade County on Monday and across the state on Tuesday.
We're here to shed some clarity
One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal.
Will you make a contribution today to help us hit this goal and support our policy coverage? Any amount helps.
