When Barack Obama announced in 2007, I thought: "No way. It will be another twenty years before we have a black President." My pessimism proved unfounded, and we had a glorious new page in American History. Right now, we have a woman of color as Vice President. Having a gay President is probably not as far off as it might seem.
