Obama’s win represents ‘historic milestone’ for gays
Gay rights leaders called Tuesday’s election of Democrat Barack Obama as the nation’s 44th president a development of historic proportions for the advancement of gay and transgender civil rights.
Activists noted that gays played an unprecedented role in the Obama campaign, providing thousands of volunteers in states and towns across the country in an effort to help elect a candidate they believe to be the most gay-supportive presidential nominee in U.S. history.
