President Obama and the Fight for LGBT Rights

"This is Done"



"We are a Nation that says out of Many we are One"

"We are not a Nation that says Don't Ask Don't Tell"

This is so moving. Our President has given this country a chance to move forward, a giant step for equality for all. This is a huge accomplishment. I am so incredibly proud of this President.

Paraprashing here.. PBO: "Their love and committment is as strong as anyone else's"..

From a woman whom I didn't get her name.. "this is not just good for GLBT for us as a Nation" so true. And, one reason we are more exceptional than say.. Russia! Where "Obama named one of Russia’s top 5 gay “heroes”

PBO: "Nobody should be afraid to walk down the street holding the hand of the person they love"..
