We here at newNowNext are excited to let you all new we are launching a new section, beCause.

Dedicated to bringing you stories that deal with progressive politics, breaking news and personal interest pieces, beCause will be replacing our popular Vote 2012 section. We'll be covering stories like The Carnival Drag Cruise standoff, AIDS activists getting naked in Congress, and all the great things (and the not-so-great things) that are happening in the marriage equality revolution.

Check it out for yourself here.
