Not to rain on anyone's parade (including my own)...

I am thrilled about Obama, but it looks like the anti-gay marriage initiative in CA is going to pass. And two others passed (AZ and FL). That is very sad. That means that marriages in CA will be nullified and it really sets the cause back

I'm so happy about Obama but was really sad to hear about Prop 8 b/c I know how much it means to a lot of people.

Coming from a red state (NC) that is ever so close to being a blue state (yay!) and has finally elected our first female governor, I'm hopeful but agree we have a long way to go. And being from the South and living in the South, I know progress here will be really really really really slow unfortunately.

I just don't understand how people can be so comfortable with denying the rights of others. It's sad.
