hope?

its true, I've been busy. I'm going to try to post each new post on facebook, so maybe people actually read it.
So sorry about the lack of Obama victory talky talky, but come on. EVERYONE writes about that. I mean, with good reason and everything, but still.
I was quite overjoyed and everything, what with my reproductive rights not being taken away in California, but sad about Prop.8

Not enough to completely overcome the Obama euphoria, but it did depress me. Here i THOUGHT California was this equality-loving, reasonable, and tolerant place that I could be proud to call my home. It still can be- might be- whether with a court decision or another Proposition on the ballot in two years.


And the prop eight protests happened recently. My minister got arrested, and was out on bail to be in church on Sunday. People who supported prop 8 might've thought they were "protecting their children" from "deviants and weirdos," but that isn't the real truth. Gay people are people, gay families are families, and you'd think by now everyone would've realised that. Because prop 8 really attacks people like my minister, his partner, and their kids, a loving family like any other.

Why is it possible to put their marriage on a ballot?
