Last night, historic victories were achieved and voters overcame huge milestones in civil rights and equality. For the LGBT community, this year's election has been an occasion worth celebrating.
Barack Obama, the president who repealed Don't Ask Don't Tell, and the first sitting president ever to openly support same-sex marriage was decisively re-elected for a second term!
Congratulations Mr.President! I am personally relieved knowing that the president of my country will support and fight for my rights.
It's important to note that President Obama's reelection was carried largely by Women, Latino, African-American, and LGBT voters, sending the GOP a clear message that they cannot continue to ignore and degrade women and minorities.
Tammy Baldwin was elected from Wisconsin, making history as the FIRST openly LGBT Senator in the United States! She also became Wisconsin's first woman Senator. Alongside her, 12 other LGBT candidates were triumphant.
