The generally liberal moves were decided among more than 170 ballot initiatives and referendums held across the country, as it re-elected Democratic President Barack Obama for four more years.
...During his first four-year term Mr Obama had also fulfilled a pledge to repeal the controversial Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT) law banning openly gay servicemen and women from serving in the US military.
Three states voted Tuesday to legalize same-sex marriage, including Maine - which voted in a referendum against it in 2009, but reversed that decision with 54 percent in favor to 46 percent against

Lets not forget free birth control and abortions on the horizon.
The dumbing and numbing down of America continues.
Like I said America is like an alcoholic that hasn’t hit bottom yet.

this is a cultural change
HOWEVER, I believe culture can be changed back...
Maybe in a very gradual, generational process, but not in any of our lifetimes.
I’m talking about everyone. It won’t just be homosexual activists in your face, it will be your friends and family.
yes, thanks. A great summary and an excellent read.
