My favorite good time was the time when your daughter, Elizabeth, talked about how all her gay friends supported her Daddy for President because all her gays get really excited for Daddy's "economic and family platforms." Good times.
I will let Dan Savage take it from here. (I have realized I just do not well at swear-y political blogging. Savage is a pro.)
Mittens! Get ready to shake that Etch-a-Sketch, Dude! You are almost there!

And just to wipe the yuck off this post, here is a video from the extremely superb, Oscar-winning documentary, The Times of Harvey Milk. Criterion have released this on blu-ray and dvd, and it is a must-own movie for anyone who cares about Gay Rights, Marriage Equality, or folks who would just like to see what a real public servant looks like.
A few notes: First, the crucial part of the video starts at 7:18, which is Milk's speech after Prop 6 was defeated -- but watch the whole video, please. And second, it is amazing, watching Dan White running for office and hearing him speak, that the right-wing talking points have not changed one whit, lo, these thirty years. And finally, Renee and I were married not six feet from the Harvey Milk Memorial Bust in the City Hall of San Francisco. I cannot tell you how proud that made me feel to be married there, in San Francisco, in the Bay Area, in one of the greatest spots on this planet. And I cannot wait for the day when all our gay brothers and sisters will be able to enjoy that same privilege and honor.
All my love,
Michael
