“Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law, for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal, as well.”
- President Barack Obama during his Inauguration speech today, expressing that all love is truly universal.

Not everyone in America was “Go-bama”.
A gay man from Florida ended his own life after mounting bills and the re-election of Barack Obama became way too much for him to take.
64-year-old Henry Smith Hamilton Jr. was found dead by police in an apparent suicide almost two weeks ago. The Key West businessman, who gave to many AIDS charities, had been “distressed” about his business failing and left behind a copy of his will on his bathroom sink, which had the added note, “Do not revive! F*ck Obama!”
“If Barack gets re-elected, I’m not going to be around,” Hamilton had said to his partner of 11 years, Michael Cossey.
Hamilton had been battling depression for some time. Bottles of Xanax and other anti-depressants near him, but aren’t sure if ingesting them led to his death. Autopsy results are pending.

Calm down, dude; you don’t want that hair to fall out of place!
While Beyoncé and other celebs were happily celebrating the re-election of Barack Obama, not everyone was so happy that America decided to give him four more years.
Stacey Dash, who was attacked over her backing of Governor Mitt Romney, unleashed an assault via a long-winded letter that no one cared to read to TMZ, but that could not come close to comparing to what Donald Trump went through in front of the entire world.
The Apprentice head and multi-billionaire went on an huge tirade via his Twitter, saying that the “nation is totally divided” and that the election itself was a “total sham and a travesty”.
Trump’s disdain of Obama has gone on for years with him believing that our Chief got into the White House based on lies and cover-ups.
Speaking of cover-ups; it’s OK, Mr. Trump. Calm down. I believe ObamaCare also covers hair transplants.

As if you had any doubt!
President Barack Obama edged out over Republican jerk candidate Mitt Romney, bringing him another four years in the Oval Office.
It was definitely a close run for the two of them: the projected vote count has Obama beating out Romney just narrowly in the popular vote, but far surpassing him in the electoral votes: 303 – 205 for Mr. Pres.
Congratulations and here’s to pushing forward in the next term.
And goodbye to those annoying campaign ads!

Who runs the world? Obama!
Understanding just how important this Election Day is, Beyoncé took the day quite seriously, showing off that she made her voice heard at the polls (via her Tumblr) while showing her strength behind our current leader, President Barack Obama.
She also posted a very sweet handwritten note for the POTUS (President Of The United States) via her official website, expressing just what he means to her:
“President Obama,
Everyday we see your heart and character, inspiring all of us to give more of ourselves.
You are the leader to take us from where we are to where we need to be.
You are the reason my daughter and nephew will grow up knowing that they can truly be ANYTHING they want to be.
All my respect and adoration,
Beyoncé”
Bey’s been showing her love for years: she performed at his inauguration back in 2008, posted another letter to the FLOTUS (First Lady of The United States) Michelle, hosted a fundraiser with husband Jay-Z for his re-election and re-wrote her hit, “Get Me Bodied” for the First Lady’s exercise campaign, “Let’s Move”.
Let’s hope her backing helps… and if you haven’t already, GET OUT THERE AND VOTE!
