You're young. When I was a kid I never thought we'd see an African-American president nor the progress made by LGBT community. It's too slow, but sometimes it happens in a rush. Keep the faith. Even when the climate is ugly, as it is, I think it's cleansing because it's out there and not hidden behind dog whistles and doublespeak.
@luckranger71: Well that was actually very comforting. Thank you for brightening up my day. It's hard to fight negative thoughts and feelings sometimes.

Glad it helped. :) I like reading about the [b]positive[/b] leaders in the past: Gandhi, FDR, RFK. Change is really difficult to accomplish: the system doesn't like change, but it doesn't mean it's "rigged". It takes great effort and persistence and unfortunately sometimes generations.
