Something good happened to GLBT rights.
Obama was elected now we can get DADT, DOMA struck down and ENDA and hate crime laws will pass.

1. DADT, DOMA, EDNA? what do those stand for?
But i agree. I think marriage equality will not come from states. First it will come from the Supreme Court when we get 2-3 new justices in there. Then it will be further supported by the legislature, along the same way as Brown v. Board & Civil rights act of 64.

3. he might tackle one -- one of those --
but i'll be very surprised if he tacke sall of them
'
i dislike saying any straight politician is going to do anything for us.

we get out own -- through money, vote loyalty and volunteer effort.

if we get any of those -- it's because we turn out, volunteer and donate.
