Picture of me and my boyfriend reacting to the election -- Change from 2008 to 2012 - WOW! [View all]

Just wanted to share.

Here my boyfriend and I are 4 years ago, in 2008, when I was a McCain supporter and still in the closet.

And here's a picture of me and my longtime boyfriend watching Obama giving his victory speech in 2012.

Times change. Even sometimes, I change.
