As we are all now aware the election of 2012 was a watershed event for the LGB and T community. Marriage rights established in four* states, an out lesbian U.S. Senator, openly gay and lesbian, and even transgender candidates elected throughout the nation. And, of course, the biggest win, the return of Barak Obama to the White House. By all measures a huge success obtained on very narrow margins.

In Maryland, of course, we passed Marriage Equality, something I worked for along with so many others to make a reality. And now it is here. Come this January anybody can marry anybody. And that is great news for Trans folk as well. But it is not the end of our journey.
