For one day, I am African-American
I am also European-American, Asian-American, Hispanic-American, Native American and biracial. For one day, I am straight, gay, bisexual, transgendered and transsexual. For one day at least, I am all these things. For one day, there are no labels. For one day, I am a world citizen first and a very proud American second.

May God, Goddess, Allah, Buddha, a Supreme Being, the Horned God of the wild, the Triple God of the Moon, Nature, the Spaghetti Monster,or just plain good luck, bless, preserve, and protect our new President!! It is a glorious day to be alive!!

For the first time in 8 years, I am once again proud to be able to travel the world and hold my head up high, proud to be an American and call this country my home.
