Yes Jay, it does look like we may have Senator Norris in the hot seat this time next year, though I don't think we'd be the first. I'm pretty sure Iceland had a lesbian PM before. Our President is a ceremonial role, not a decision-making position, but it would still be nice.
As for the video, a bit of background, it was made by a group in Dublin which run a number of great groups for people aged 14-25 and they have a café where people can just drop in and be themselves. They also organize the Gay Prom, which is a ball for all LGBT people who felt they could not go to the one at their school and be themselves. They're a really great group.
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.
Derek Mahon
