I must say, I am as joyfull by the election of Barack as I am devastated by the backlash against our rights as gays and lesbians. And I have to say it and air my frustration: I feel also let down by this campaign and by Barack. He and Joe Biden in particular have taken a less than satisfactory stance on gay marriage all the way and the high african-american vote in favor of Prop 8 has been their failure to a large extent. Once more, solidarity was a one-way-road for the gay community. We gave all we could and received a slap in the face!

You have to know you could of had McCain-Palin as an alternative. Their stance was NO tolerance at all.

Once, as you very well know, the DEFINITION of marriage was: a white man and a white woman, a black man and a black woman. Definitions change as times moves on.
