...being gay was considered criminal, a mental disorder and a perversion. I do confess that as a young man I was a bit of a homophone, but I was RAISED that way. Heck, last year I voted for a gay candidate for governor. Maine would be MUCH better off if he'd have won, too. My wife and I voted YES for marriage equality both in 2009, when it lost, and again in 2012 when Maine became the first state to have gay marriage by popu on at vote. My wife's best friend is married to another woman.
I agree that it is SO much better now and I agree that President Obama deserves much of the credit.
BTW, I wish you & your love much happiness and joy in your relationship! 
PEACE!
