President of the United States Of America Barack Obama! So nice to type that finally. I am so moved by this country's step forward.
I have a hard time not being bittersweet on the day after. So much struggle led to this historic amazing moment, men women and children died to bring us here, this is the re-birth of a nation. For those of us in the LGBT communities our eyes were also on many local and state elections that dealt with anti-gay ballot measures, many of which sadly passed. The largest fight was over Prop. 8 in California, whoever there is a glimmer of hope on that front. Here's the latest at this time. No on 8.
Listen to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream" speech from 1963. Dr. King would be proud to know today, dreams do come for some.
