The Obama years will be remembered as a cultural - and legal - tipping point for equality for all people who do not identify as strictly heterosexual, arguably the civil rights movement of our times.

I was born in 1966, at the beginning of the Biafran-Nigerian Civil War, and the war ended after three years.
