shiredancerWow, wasn't Tuesday night the most amazing night ever (in the history of politics in our lifetime, that is)? Or one of the best, anyway. YES, WE CAN! My heart is full to the brim with hope.
Here in California it was made bittersweet by the passage of Prop. 8, however. I'm heartsick that my supposedly liberal, open-minded state has passed a change to the *state constitution* to incorporate discrimination into it. It's... it's just... it's so heartbreaking. But petitions and appeals will follow, and in my heart I believe that if the time's not now, it will be, and in my lifetime too. It was so close, and at least that's heartening, to know how much closer it came than the last time it was on the ballot (2004, I think?).
Hmmm, that's a lot of heart going into this post.
