Change is here.

This is the mantra echoed by Barack Obama during his campaign, and one that is now shouted from the rooftops after his successful election. Obama has indeed risen from relative political obscurity to becoming a household name. "Obama-fever" is in the air, and millions of Americans, and indeed the rest of the world, are waiting to see what is in store for the future.

Not only is Obama the first African-American president of the United States, he is also the first preseident to have made a keen impact on the gay community. With Proposition 8 now seeking to ruin hundreds of loving gay marriages, there is indeed a lot that has to change. The question really to ask is whether or not Obama is up to the challenge - after all, he may have just seen the LGBT community as nothing but and untapped voting potential. Millions of gay people all across America will be keeping a watchful eye on Obama once he assumes the Presidency in January, and even though the race for the presidency has ended, the race for change hasn't even begun.
