Shout it out!
President Obama's speech was indeed inspiring. For the first time ever, gays and lesbians were defended explicitly, not once but twice. (Though it must be stated that he remained silent on transgenders - thank you, Sadie!)
On a larger theme, Obama's spoke to a larger voice, that of "my fellow Americans". We must always remember that this voice does not belong to 435 Representatives. They only represent the larger voice, that of 315,214,000 people. And that your voice is only heard when you e-mail, snailmail, telephone or in person.
I know that I defend the rights of all people to marry, to be taxed at an equal amount (heterosexual vs. homosexual), to visit at a hospital nursing home, and to say goodbye at a funeral home and a cemetery.
How about you?
