‘Banner’ year for GLBT people

December, and particularly the last week of December, is often a time to look back on the previous year. All sorts of people do it for all sorts of subjects. MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts recently took a look back at what he called “a banner year” for the GLBT rights movement.

Overall, I think he’s right, and I think it’s important to note the positive things that happened. 2012 may have more challenges, but it could turn out even better than this year. I choose to hope for that.
