A man's race is acceptable...but his religion? His sexuality?

Last night I was struck by the irony that America has made it to a place where an African American can become president, but those of certain religious faiths cannot...I was thinking back on the early race and how I was amazed during Mitt Romney's campaign how many people said they would not vote for a Mormon.

I was also just reading something about Proposition 8 and think it is interesting that the American nation would never elect a known homosexual to the highest office of the executive branch.

I also doubt that America as a whole is willing to elect a woman to the presidency...

I don't think America has come as far as everyone thinks when it comes to equality...though it is a start...
