I am happy for the Obama win. IT's truly great.

I am saddened by the Proposition 8 results in California. What saddens me most is a simple majority has the power to take away a right from a minority.

1. I suspect this will go before the Supreme Court. It does demonstrate the intolerance of religion

and society at large

ANY charity related to a Church that supported this amendment that solicits contributions from me will get nothing from me

2. I am so sad they won't give a right to everyone!
It should have nothing to do with majority or minority totals - nondiscrimination should be just that!

3. I'm gravely saddened by this, especially in CA.
Codifying discrimination right into the State Constitution. Disgusting.

5. WTF?!?
One day you're married, next day you're not, next day you are, next day you're not - why on Earth is the home of Harvey Milk playing with gay rights as though it were some sort of yo-yo?
