a rare *good* note on politics!

[rivendellrose]

Mayor Sanders of San Diego currently has my vote for most awesome living politician in the United States. I don't know anything else about him or his politics, but unless he's a truly Oscar-calibre actor, he did some real soul searching and eventually came to the conclusion that I wish more politicians would: That all relationships, regardless of the sex of the two people involved, deserve the chance to be equally recognized.

Big applause, sir. I wish all the politicians in this country had as much heart.

I heard about that. Isn't it awesome?

Soooooo totally awesome. I'm so hoping that some of the goodness bleeds up the coast to Washington State, and then outward from there! ♥

Oh, that's awesome.

Not as awesome as the people who, y'know, don't need to have a change of heart *toward* enlightenment. But he's better than a lot of the politicians we have to choose from.

It'd be great if everybody thought that way! But I think, second to that, it's best for people to see someone who didn't believe in it turn in a big way. Maybe he'll bring a few more naysayers with him!
