This is a moment that will be remembered in history.

The fall of 2008 will be remembered by historians for two major reasons. One is the election of Barack Obama. The other is the moment when "gay rights" began to be recognized as "human rights" by a majority of Americans.

This is a momentous historical time. People all over the country are buzzing about Prop 8, Rick Warren, gay marriage, civil unions, gay rights, Stonewall, homosexuals, GLBTQ - what's the Q mean?, the role of religion, and everything else involving gay folks. These discussions used to be relegated to difficult conversations or simply ignored by most Americans.

Ready or not, it's happening now.

This is a moment in history. You are either on the right side of history or not. You are either part of the movement or you're in the way or you're ignoring it. Those on the right side of history will be able to recall with joy their part in it. Those opposing or ignoring it will probably have to make something up to explain to their grandchildren.

It's here. It's now.
