Good week, good week people of the U.S.

In regards to advances for LGBT equality, its been quite a week.  Maryland’s senate approves same-sex marriage, DOMA is now NOT defended :)  and openly Gay man, Jeremy Bernard is now President Obama’s Social Secretary! We must remember to celebrate these things! Our fight does not have to be negative, celebrate these milestones, as we keep moving forward we will get that unending ring of equality.
