WASHINGTON, D.C. — "As it has for more than two centuries, progress will come in fits and starts," President Obama told a packed crowd in Chicago well after 1 a.m. early Wednesday. "It's not always a straight line. It's not always a smooth path."Although Obama was making a broad statement about governing, he could have as easily been describing the path the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community has traversed since the 1969 Stonewall riots.After two decades of "fits and starts" in the long-fought battle for recognition of same-sex couples' right to marry, the cause looked to have hit an unmistakable stride forward with this year's elections.
this is where the power structure from the beginning has set this country on a path of division. they have written the Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Pledge of Allegiance, all of which the verbiage was at that time only inclusive of the white powers that be.
the rest of this country's inhabitants were never intended to be a part of all the "inspired" wording of equality and words like "for all".
they handled those passages by declaring Blacks 3/5ths of a human, the beginnings of suppression in the political sphere. problem with all the amendments the basic tenents of discrimination still exist. evidenced by the right wing party and it's constituents.
the Pres. is trying to restore those promise made by those so highly esteemed "Founding Fathers" even though they were never intended for us.
The Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest LGBT organization, declared Tuesday night’s results — ranging from Obama's reelection to House and Senate victories by out LGBT candidates to marriage equality-related victories in four states — as an "equality landslide."
In Wisconsin, Tammy Baldwin will become the first out LGBT senator when she moves to the upper chamber in January. Mark Takano, elected to the House in California, will be the first out LGBT person of color in Congress. And, Kyrsten Sinema, leading in her House race in Arizona, would be the first out bi person in Congress if she maintains her lead over Vernon Parker.
But it was the marriage equality votes that ultimately marked Tuesday's election. Voters in all four states with marriage equality-related measures on the ballot sided with LGBT advocates.
they had Gay's back when all this declarations of equality and one for all and all for one, but it was not included as a no no in those documents, probably because some framers were in the closet, looking out for themselves in case it was revealed, write laws that protect your own butt first.
