I viewed the results of the presidential race with a mixture of happiness and sheer relief. I believe in Obama as a candidate, but these last few months, even over that, the thought of Sarah Palin in the Whitehouse scared the shit out of me.

Prop 8.
As of the time I write this, according to CBSNews.com, 24898 of 25429 precincts have reported their votes. It's ... still close. That means there's still a SLIM chance. But I know better than to get my hopes up. Right now, 52% of the votes that have been tallied are "yes" votes. That means, 52% of the voting population let lies and scare tactics persuade them into legalizing discrimination. Into writing discrimination into the constitution.
Come on, California. I thought you were better than that.
I've always loved my state. I've always been proud to live here. Right now - not so much.
