Oh boy, I really hope so*. Obama has mentioned his support for gay rights in several speeches, so I'm hoping with him at the helm a lot of damaging, backward, as you say, institutionalized bigotry will be demolished.

But hell yes. Fight and bitch and outflank 'em till we win.


(*And on a side note, am I ever again going to be able to use the word 'hope' in any vaguely politically-orientated topic without feeling like I'm somehow punning?)
