Nov. 5th, 2008 07:53 amI still kinda don't know what to say. I was watching Stewart and Colbert when it happened, which was pretty awesome. McCain's speech was all kinds of classy and Obama's speech made me tear up at the enormity of history.
In other news, Prop 8. *sighs* However I'm still encouraged by it. Why? Just 8 years ago - in 2000 - there was Prop 22. (You know, the Proposition that was just struck down for being unconstitutional?) It passed 61% for and 38% against. Current numbers for Prop 8 are only 52% for and 48% against. And while I really wish Prop 8 would have been struck down this time around so we could be done with this nonsense, I'm finding this at least a step in the right direction. I don't doubt that eventually the courts will find Prop 8 unconstitutional as well, but attitudes are changing, if slowly.
