Obama: “What Matters Above All Is the Love”

Editor’s Note: Before his historic election win earlier this month, President Barack Obama replied to a letter sent by 10-year-old Sophia Bailey Klugh. As you can read below, the young girl was bullied for having two dads. The reply, versions of which have gone to other children of gay parents, sheds light on the Obama administration’s stance concerning at least some LGBT issues. On pages 10 and 11, the Bay Times celebrates the administration’s impressive record for our community, but looks to the future on what needs to be done next.
