Billie Jean King is one of my great inspirations and heroes in life. I'm so glad I've had the opportunity to tell her that. She is a positive person who believes that change can occur and she has led the way time and time again in changing the world in her decades-long fight for equality.
Here is some of what the great BJK wrote for logoonline about tonight's historic presidential forum:

"The 2008 Presidential election is perhaps one of the most important elections in recent history. From the environment to women’s rights to health care to America’s role internationally, the next President will have a significant impact on the direction of our country and the future of our world. Just as important to me personally is how the next President will address issues important to the LGBT community. The decisions we make during the primary and caucus process as well as in November 2008 will be pivotal to the advances that must be made in the campaign for equality in this country...
...A new President also means we can finally have a fair chance to stop the marginalization of gay and lesbian couples and work to ensure that all Americans in committed relationships have the same rights and responsibilities. We need to figure out a way to make sure gay and lesbian couples have access to the over 1,000 rights that married couples currently have at the federal level. It is important that we look for candidates who not only share our ideals and dreams for a better, stronger future, but believe in, and are willing to fight for equality.

I urge you to truly investigate each of the candidates and make an informed decision at the polls. For me, that choice is clear. Hillary Clinton has been a longtime friend of the LGBT community. She has fought for policies that promote equality, while taking a strong stand against forces that have tried to marginalize the LGBT community...
...It’s up to us now. We hold the power in our hands and next November, we need to make sure what is in our hearts and in our minds is heard loud and clear.
