Results are still pending for Prop 8. There are many provisional ballots and votes yet to be processed. As of this entry prop 8 is 2 points down (52% YES / 48% NO). Likely the measure will pass but remember that we cannot lose hope. Already legal proceedings are beginning to challenge if the ballot passes. Civil rights groups are gathering and continuing to fight. Our resolve and equality cannot be defeated by one measure passing, nor would it be completely achieved by it failing, the fight will wage on for many years but eventually we will prevail!
All you can do is what you can. Write letters, work hard, fight for our rights, educate others, set a good example, and love your follow man (or women!).
The good news is that we have a new leader. One that will clear up many of our much bigger issues. This is the pinnacle of history for many of us. The long overdue change we need is coming. Keep hope!
