For the 2nd time in my voting life I'm proud to have been raised mostly in America. No President is perfect and in a year most will be gripping, but this reelection means a step forward. It means we might win the fight against AIDS, it means marriage equality will continue to move forward, it means DOMA will go away, it means that the first election wasn't a fluke, it means Latino voters (all voters of color really) have gone from being the "one election voter group" to an irrefutably powerful demographic that the Republicans will never again try to ignore, it means all Americans will see some justice in health care. With my whole heart I believe the stage is set for the greatest era of civil rights and equality in American history.
