Michelle Obama is currently on a book tour for her memoir, "Becoming." During one of her stops, she appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres show to talk about her book.

According to Advocate.com, "First Lady Michelle Obama revealed that she and daughter Malia Obama left the White House on the night on 2015 that the Supreme Court ruled for marriage equality and snuck outside near the crowd to be a part of the celebration. She spoke to Ellen DeGeneres about the passage in her book that covers the momentous event."

Remember when the gay marriage bill was passed on June 26, 2015? Well, Michelle and Malia made it outside the White House to celebrate with people who were celebrating in front of the White House.

Advocate.com provided a snippet of that moment from her book:

"We made our way down a marble staircase and over red carpets, around the busts of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin and past the kitchen until suddenly we were outdoors. The humid summer air hit our faces. I could see fireflies blinking on the lawn.

"And there it was, the hum of the public, people whooping and celebrating outside the iron gates. It had taken us 10 minutes to get out of our own home, but we'd done it. We were outside, standing on a patch of lawn off to one side, out of sight of the public but with a beautiful, close-up view of the White House, lit up in pride."

After reading this, it caused me to think back during that time. I was in undergraduate school at the time and was writing for the university newspaper. When I heard the news, I got so happy and excited for everyone (including my friends) who are members of the LGBT community.

I wrote about it, along with people's opinions about it, and named it "One Love in New Jersey." I mentioned the Senator of New Jersey officiating a same-sex wedding, and even referenced a lyric from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis song, "Same Love" (feat. Mary Lambert): "I might not be the same, but that's not important, No freedon 'til we're equal, damn right I support it.

Looking back on it today makes me happy knowing that I can marry a woman or a man. At the same time, I am fearful of what will happen to us (the LGBT community) in the upcoming months to a year. Even though I am fearful that all of Obama's hard work to make everyone's life equal might go to waste with Trump and Pence in office.

However, I am being hopeful that everyone will do what's right and leave things the way they were when Obama was in office the past 8 years of our lives.

For everyone who is reading this, please continue to fight and make your voices be heard. We will not be erased from society. We will rise above this, and be who we want to be and marry who we truly love.
