President Obama has declared June 2009 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month.  This is a huge step forward for the LGBT community.  The President wrote a fantastic tribute to the LGBT movement.

Our 44th United States President calls for equal rights for all Americans, regardless of gender or sexual identity.  For the first time in this country’s history we have a leader who supports rights for all citizens.  This is huge!

As if I could be more thrilled with Obama’s presidency, he surpasses my expectations for him.  I am grateful that we elected Obama and thankful to him for calling the country and the legislature to action.

We are a free country that proclaims to be based upon the principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and equality for all and we may finally have that.  Let us continue on in this journey of equality.  We could very well see another historical moment occur in our lifetimes. I am ecstatic at the thought.
