As someone new to a same-sex relationship, I appreciate Obama more than ever! [View all]

Not just the legislation he has supported. Not just the support, like bathing the White House in the gay pride colors. Not just the speeches in support of the LGBT community.

He and Michelle have really set the tone for acceptance in society. We have come a long way during this administration.

My partner and I attended a Fall festival/Oktoberfest celebration last week, holding hands and hugging. Not one negative comment. Not one problem. And I saw other same-sex couples doing the same. It was very nice.

I think this is what President Obama meant about fundamental change in the United States. And I think it is a beautiful thing. I thank him for it. Feeling free to love who you love and be who you are is real freedom.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, President Obama!
