Bittersweet
Amazing. The same night great barriers are broken across the nation, others ones are being enforced in our home state. But you know what, I still have hope. I think marriage equality for all isn't an "if" question, but rather "when"; as disappointed as I am in California today, I know it takes time for people to learn to accept those who are different from them. If America can elect a black president given our ugly history of slavery and "separate but equal" that reigned not too long ago, then nothing is impossible. Exit polls show that voters in the 18-29 age range voted against Prop 8, so let's keep fighting the fight for the future, not just for marriage equality, but life, liberty and happiness for ALL.
