One step forward, two steps back…

Obama gets in – which is good.
Proposition 8 goes through in California, which is so unbelievably narrow minded it’s astounding.

This pic is from hizKNITS, who is understandably outraged…

3 frenzykat 8 November 2008 at 12:08 am: i think that’s unbelievable.
there were a few other props that were upsetting as well.
i agree..love is love…
it’s almost like a step backwards.

I am Mexican and am married to a white guy…60 years ago it would have been illegal for us to be married. It’s the same thing and no one seems to realize it. It’s unfair and wrong! But people are not taking this lying down and there are something like a million ballots that still need to be counted…
