BIG NEWS: Obama Comes Out For Equality

After the travesty that occurred yesterday in North Carolina, and the disappointment that happened last night in Colorado, I don't know whetehr to laugh or to cry at this news.

For the first time in my life, a sitting President of the United States has publicly declared that I deserve equality.

“I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors, when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together; when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.”
