I'm with koga on This
Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, is not a victory; tonight is an opportunity for victory.
With a simple action of taking an hourish out of one of our days, we've managed to take part in history.
Tonight is an awesome opportunity to make things better. Perhaps not right; it will take more than a single term to make things "right". We may never get there. But at least we can choose to do no wrong.
Tonight, we spun the world. And though tonight we may not have "Happiness for All" and those hateful, lying proponents of Proposition 8 may have managed to deny loving people the chance to have a recognized union, this suggests to me that now is a good time to get involved.
I know that not everyone on my FriendList agrees that Proposition 8 was a Bad Thing™. And I can respect that. I know people I know and like, even love, did/would have voted for solely "man and woman" marriage. I can respect that, too.
But pardon me while I love as I do, and pardon me for wanting those I share this Earth with to have the same privileges I've had.
Here's to the Next Thing.
