Progress?

So yesterday was a big day in Oregon. Some politicians stepped up and finally accomplished what should have happened a long time ago (well, preferably we would live in a world where equality wouldn't have to be legislated)...granting gays and lesbians a future hopefully filled with more peace, dignity, respect, freedom and equality.

But alas, on that same day I had to take one of my coworkers aside and explain to him that several comments he made yesterday about one of our teammates were not appropriate (our coworker is gay). So, while laws may be in place we will no doubt need to continue calling people on the bullshit they say.
