Shame on California
Prop 8 passed. Looks like about 52% of the state voted to redefine marriage in the state constitution as between only a man and a woman, vs 48% against.
I have always been a fan of this state - I pretty much think it’s the best one there is. But right now, I feel like I’ve been stabbed in the back by the people of the state I love. And my disappointment is nothing compared to the disappointment of my recently married gay friends.
I’m finding it hard to be happy about an Obama win, when my state just took such a hurtful, backwards step. I expect this from Arkansas…. but California? I expected better.
