Making History In Civil Rights

I know I am not the only person who will always remember that President Obama, in 2012, became the first sitting president to tell the world that he believed that gay Americans should not be denied the stability and sanctity of marriage.

Such an important message, and like so many other important messages about the world, it took the wisdom of little children to bring it about.  Thank you, Sasha and Malia, for showing your dad the way.


Statements from the bully pulpit do not equate with a sudden lack of bigotry in public policy, of course, but this was a step, I think, a huge step for civil rights.

May all of our families be allowed the blessings of marriage and full equality of rights under the law.
