A new morning in America

Ever since the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980, the GLBT community has had little to celebrate at the federal level. But it’s a new morning in America!

With Obama at the helm, we will make progress at last.

Obama is our first Democratic president since Lyndon Johnson in 1964 who has the power to help us. Yes, there was Bill Clinton. But Clinton did little for GLBT issues because he was elected with less than 50 percent of the vote, and the Democrats lost control of the House in 1994.
