for the first time in my life, i think i might actually be swollen with the pride of being an american. barack obama was elected president of the usa last night, though -- and admittedly, in the same sentence -- proposition 8 passed in the state of california. i'd take obama over 8, though, because 8 will fall apart eventually, and a change such as obama will (and is!) bring(ing) about takes more than just wait-until-the-next-season. it takes an ocean.
YES WE CAN.

there is definitely a reason i chose to not check the results for 8 until today. i didn't want anything to ruin last night. :)
and! 4 failed too! two of my three most important votes were for the winning side.
*fingers crossed for the courts to shoot down 8...again...*
I feel the same way about Obama and 8. I'm hurt by 8's passing, but at the same time, WE HAVE OBAMA!
Eight - or what it stands for - can't win for very long, in the grand scheme of things. All of these fights for unequal rights lose in the end.
