The Holidays are for celebrating and in the LGBT Political arena there was plenty to be joyous about this year with with the US Supreme Court striking down the federal DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) and California's Proposition 8 and with eight states allowing legal same-sex marriages in 2013! The Stonewall Democratic Club held its annual Holiday Soiree at The LGBT Community Center, 208 West 13th Street, Greenwich Village, New York City on December 11th and I was honored to be a part of it. Elected officials from the Federal, State and City levels, politicians and supportive allies gathered together for seasonal cheer and continued success.
