I’ll be the first to say it: I was wrong. From now on I’ll leave predictions to the professionals.
It has been a long day and I will deconstruct everything later. And there is a lot to deconstruct. I encourage everyone to comment and add to the discussion in the coming days. It’s essential that we all do.
What I will say is this: I did not expect that at all. It’s a good thing and it doesn’t in any way change what people are doing. Obama’s speech made the role of protest for LGTB issues and coalition building (read human issues) all the more important and relevant than they ever have been. It was a damn-fine speech, frankly, and I was prepared for that.
