I’m happy that change is afoot. I’m happy that it’s the change that I voted for.  I’m hesitantly excited, seeing the potential but also aware of the possibilities for things to go horribly awry.

What makes me happiest, though, is knowing that people like Fred Shuttleworth, F.D. Reese, and James Armstrong — and my parents, and everyone else that fought on any level to bring equality (on at least a legislated level) to this country — got to live long enough to see the fruits of their labor.  For all those that aren’t around to see it, at least there are some who can witness that their efforts weren’t in vain.

In the meantime, everyone watch this, and laugh.  Because after the last 21 months, we can finally all start to breathe again, and laughter is just excited breathing, really…
