Change Has Come

Today is history.

I am proud of my country to the point of tears right now.

Don’t let me down in the next few days, California. I will fucking divorce you if Prop. 8 passes.

I am not so pessimistic. LA's votes have yet to be counted.

In this election, the terrible stereotype americans have had to deal with the past years was struck in a big way. Staying up 'till dawn was well worth the trouble - the political science of change and development was way more interesting than the junk and drama of previous elections.

Eh. http://verix.livejournal.com/640759.html?thread=3879415#t3879415 more or less sums up how worried I am about prop 8. The important thing is we made history tonight, and we have a President and two houses of Congress that are ready to get in there and start cleaning up this mess.

I have always been extremely patriotic on a state level. It's been hard to be patriotic on a federal level recently because A) the far right has more or less hijacked the concept of "patriotism" into "votes Republican" and B) Bush has been President for eight years now. :( But no matter how fucked up the country has been, I have always deeply, truly loved New Mexico. Now, after the historical evening tonight has been, it's...I...it's like I feel that way for the country as a whole again, and it's kind of a weird feeling, because I'm definitely not used to it.

Congratulations for being there when history was made, dragon.

You're just mad because it prevents herms from marrying anyone at all. ^^

Don't think you can try to hitch up with another herm, either, since that would constitute "double homosexuality," which I think still carries the death penalty in Texas and Louisiana.

Boy you're sure going to disappoint 'Ette sayin' so!

You'd be welcome in Canada!
