I could not agree more! I was so happy and proud when Obama became president, proud I had voted for a man who is going to change the nation, proud at how far we’d come, and that lasted exactly 2 hours until I saw that prop 8 was passing. Today I feel the exact same way and a little bit irritated at people who can only see how much we’ve changed, and yet how far we still have to go. I am also saddened by the fact that 7 out of 10 of our fellow brothers and sisters voted for prop 8, hence why I just finished reading your piece on black homophobia. I could not agree more. The fact that blacks voted for the ban at a hiring rate than any other ethnicity just makes me want to scream ” Coretta Scott King was pro gay rights for a reason!”.

Ah, Terrance. My heart goes out to you and yours. Change comes slow. Like glaciers, but equally relentless. As Ted Arroway observed in “Contact” – “Small moves, Ellie, small moves”. You’ll get there. Just keep pushing.

Same here. I’m an American expat living in Canada, and last night was the first time in a long time that I felt a bit nostalgic for my old homeland. This morning? Not so much.

But I still believe that it will happen. It didn’t happen today, but it will happen. Almost 50% of the voters in the most populous state of the union wanted it to happen. Almost five million people. You could make a whole other state out of that many people.

We will see the day.
