Change has come

Moments -- really, just moments -- after President Obama took the oath of office (oh, Lord, does it feel good to type that), the official White House website was updated. You can find the whole thing here, but these are the bullet points, verbatim, under the heading "Civil Rights: Support for the LGBT Community":

  • Expand Hate Crimes Statutes.
  • Fight Workplace Discrimination.
  • Support Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights for LGBT Couples.
  • Oppose a Constitutional Ban on Same-Sex Marriage.
  • Repeal Don't Ask-Don't Tell.
  • Expand Adoption Rights.
  • Promote AIDS Prevention.
  • Empower Women to Prevent HIV/AIDS.
Pinch me.
