OK have to say, it is pretty amazing that all but one Democrat voted against a bill

that would punish schools for letting trans girls play sports. Kind of awesome. I know that without getting rid of the filibuster we won't see anything positive out of the federal govt such as say ENDA, but it does bode well for a future where the filibuster is gone.

I remember just how bad the Dems were in the 1980's and 1990's in regards to LGBT rights.

Finally, I am proud of this party. I feel represented. It’s a strange but welcome feeling.
