America is changing and growing, regardless if the teabaggers and others are scared. Tonight, Annise Parker was elected mayor of Houston, the largest city ever to elect an openly LGBT mayor.

One day, we will triumph and be recognized as full and equal citizens. Until then, we need to keep loving and facing down ignoring and fear.
