Obama's promise of hope

I had never looked too closely at Obama's presidential platform, but I just stumbled upon this excerpt of it and it made my hope he gets elected this coming Tuesday grow even more, if that's at all possible:
Senator Obama's presidential platform includes the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act and the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" military policy prohibiting openly gay people from serving. While the Obama/Biden campaign opposes extending civil marriage to same-sex couples, it does advocate for equal access to federal benefits for legally united partners, adoption rights, a fully inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and the Uniting American Families Act, which would allow an American citizen to sponsor one's same-sex partner for immigration.
GO OBAMA!!
