Prop. 8

It's not official yet, but it looks as though Proposition 8 is going to pass.
It's Official: Prop 8 has passed.

Anger and disappointment do not begin to express how I feel about this.

I realize that I live in a bubble: I live in the Castro, in San Francisco, in the Bay Area. I'm lucky enough to live in a place that doesn't believe in discrimination. I was beginning to believe that we were growing as a state and as a country. It turns out that not all Californians have the same belief system that I do, and I sometimes forget that.

But really: the fact that California voters care more about the treatment of chickens, cows and pigs, than the civil rights of people just baffles me.

I know this isn't the end. The fight will go on, and we will reach a point of equality for all some day.

It's just too bad that that day isn't today.
