Glad to hear

I had a bad day at work today, so I'm glad there's something good happening on the gender front. Maybe someday we'll all move beyond stereotypes and look at real individuals.

No tyranny of the majority this time.

I grew up there - good to see. It has a highly educated, and fairly liberal-leaning demographic, however. It would be nice to see something like this happen in a place with a more conservative demographic, but I am not holding my breath for that day to come.
