2. My nephew is Gay
and he and so many others want to live a "normal" life recognized for their achievements without waiting until it is politically expedient for others to allow them to do so.

I'm glad that more states are beginning to recognize gay Marriage (which btw I will be happy when it's all just called marriage instead of a separate category such as gay marriage).

Obama promised to help those who are fighting for our country live their life without fear of repercussion for being gay. I'm saddened by this.

My nephew, my students who are gay, and my friends who are gay deserve better. I hope Obama will say "Yes we can eliminate this craziness of the don't ask don't tell policy."

Obama is better than that. I voted for him because I believed that everyone should be able to pursue their dreams unfettered.
