Gay Predictions for 2009

From The Edge: Boston, we get our first gay list of predictions for 2009...

10. NJ Gay Marriage -- the legislature's for it, the governor's for it, the people are for it... what else? QC.com Comment: We may also see some surprises in New Hampshire and Iowa this year as well...

9. Major League Baseball Player Comes Out -- this is one of the most shockingly well thought out things I have ever read, actually...

8. Anderson Cooper Comes Out -- If not, Perez Hilton will throw a shit fit.

7. Cher Comes Out of Retirement -- Yea, yea, yea.

6. Europe Gets An Openly Gay Head of State -- Also, congratulations to Portland Mayor Sam Adams on being the first openly gay person to be the mayor of a major city... and may be the highest ranking non-national elected official to be out (that is, not House or Senate).

5. Milk Wins an Oscar or Two -- It should; this isn't really going out on a limb.

4. The Leader of an African Country Has HIV -- This hasn't happened yet?

3. Obama Starts Slowly Phasing Out DADT -- Grr... If it isn't 2011 by now.

2. Dick and Lynne Cheney Endorse Gay Marriage -- I would actually not be surprised if this happened; and it may be the single catalyst for changing the movement forever. Though I argue it may be a few more years before it happens.

1. Their number one is personal to the author, so I ask you, my dear readers...

What's your prediction for gay in 2009???


Queerty also has a good list...
