miriam_eThe tables are turning for Bush and his hateful mob.
I get regular email from the Human Rights Campaign in USA, who are largely concerned with GLBT rights. Here is a part of their latest mailout:

Tonight we saw a stunning victory for fair-minded politicians and GLBT equality...and a stinging rebuke of anti-GLBT politics in this country.
Here's what we know so far:
* A fair-minded majority has swept into the House of Representatives. With victories for strong pro-equality candidates like Florida's Ron Klein and Arizona's Gabby Giffords, we now have the most fair-minded Congress in history.
* We are on the verge of a historic victory for equality in Arizona where a discriminatory constitutional amendment could be defeated. The American people are tired of attempts to undermine equality for political gain. We'll be keeping a close eye on the results of this initiative in Arizona.
* With defeats for some of the most anti-gay voices such as John Hostettler, Rick Santorum and others, the era of gay bashing as a political tactic is coming to an end. Out of the 228 candidates HRC endorsed, we've seen 204 of those candidates win with only 11 losses, and 13 races still undecided.
