Regardless of the aptness of the analogy (which is certainly debatable), it never occurred to me until I read Mr. Krieglstein's comments that anyone anywhere thought we could ever possibly have gay president.

Oh, yes we will :). And I think you and I and all the commenters here will live to see him or her take office.

I read an article the other day about a 110 year old black voter (whose grandfather or father, I forget which, was a former slave) never thought she'd see a black presidential candidate, let alone a viable one. So I'm pretty sure this will change too.

109. It was her father who was born into slavery. She voted.

I guess that's why I couldn't find the article to double check. I had the wrong age!

Well I hope she lives long enough to vote for him twice.
