Gay Rights Impact Election

In a Huffington Post article entitled Obama Reaffirms Same-Sex Marriage Platform As Election Closes Sam Stein provides evidence of the stance President Oboma has held regarding same sex marriages and rights throughout the 2012 Presidential Campaign. He includes an interview where President Oboma states what is going to change this issue. In a Chicago Tribune article there is a discussion of the same sex initiatives Obama has endorsed in Washington, Maryland and Maine. It looks like the movement to get these rights and end the discrimination is getting closer to a reality. This is the frst time a president has ever supported gay rights and same sex marriage. This is a historical moment. This has been a very gradual progression in fighting for the equality this community deserves. It feels like it is actually possible to make this dream a reality, as if we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
