5. Clinton did in '92, but still...

it felt so good to be INCLUDED in the mention of all the different types of Americans. It made me feel nice. I haven't felt that way in a long time.

6. I Will Save my Tears of Joy for the Day....

When this man actually DOES something for LGBT Americans, then I will cry tears of joy. Talk is cheap. You can say anything you want but actions speak louder than words. He's better than McCain/Palin, but I still have to see what he does for gay people.

8. Yes...

11. Indeed 94114_San_Francisco.

it is cold comfort. Once AGAIN, we are shunted to the back of the bus. When do we get promoted from 2nd class citizen status? I'd be very surprised if Obama will lift one finger for us. He owes too much to those who elected him and in California, most of those vorers were homophobic. I am damned sick and tired of LGBT people being used to win elections....after that, we don't matter.
