The first promise Bill Clinton broke in 1993 was to go back on his pledge to open up the military to gays. I do not believe Hillary will be any better. Talk is cheap, like you said. Obama will be pressured by people who will never give up. He is already incorporating positive speech about gays in his talks. It's not enough, I agree. I too live in VA and deplore the situation. I do what I can. I am so sorry you are not well. The situation with my brother is that his partner lives in England and the only way they can live together here is by entering the green card lottery every year. It's a depressing and soul killing way to live, to know that if one were a female there would be no problem. I hear his voice in your words. You are so right. Hope and change become just words after years of struggle. But please know that I in no way intend to minimize your pain and suffering. I just don't know what else to do but pick the guy I think we have the best chance of influencing and then getting behind him and pushing. Virginia is changing, albeit too slowly. We'll just have to keep the pressure on.
