A Little Bit Of Hope

Just want you all to remember that even though we've experienced some really rough times over the past three months, tomorrow brings the brightest hope our community has seen in a long time. Regardless of the Rick Warren fiasco, or the HBO debacle, or even the Prop 8 quagmire from hell, Barack Obama's inauguration ushers in a new world of potential gains for the LGBT community.

However you choose to spend and/or celebrate tomorrow, we have to keep hope alive that our lives will be better over the next few years. Not just because of Barack Obama, although I think he and his administration will be a catalyst in some respects, but because we deserve better lives. We deserve equality. We deserve respect. We deserve to be treated fairly and with love and acceptance.

Tomorrow's inauguration means so much more than just another President assuming his throne.
