Election Season (20 something months of it..) is finally over and what do we have to show for it? An amazing new president who will hopefully bring the change he has promised.. I can't tell you how proud I am to be an american right now. At the same time as this historic election of our first black president occured.. Prop 8 passed in California. What's that mean? That the 18,000 gay couples that have been married this past spring and summer are no longer legally married. It means that for the first time a state has granted a right and then taken it away. I'm disgusted. It was so close. Who are these 51 percent who believe that gays are second class citizens? I'd love to meet them, I'd love to see how their relationships are so much better than ours.

Melissa Etheridge says it best about the passage of Prop 8..
"Okay. So Prop 8 passed. Alright, I get it. 51% of you think that I am a second class citizen. Alright then. So my wife, uh I mean, roommate? Girlfriend? Special lady friend? You are gonna have to help me here because I am not sure what to call her now. Anyways, she and I are not allowed the same right under the state constitution as any other citizen. Okay, so I am taking that to mean I do not have to pay my state taxes because I am not a full citizen. I mean that would just be wrong, to make someone pay taxes and not give them the same rights, sounds sort of like that taxation without representation thing from the history books" (read more)

I'm so sickened by this... other states had gay marriage bans on their ballets too.. all of which passed, even one banning gay couples from adopting. Don't even get me started on that.. My partner and I are totally capable of raising a child. We'd be amazing parents...

On a less serious note the gay relationship on one of my favorite shows is ending abruptly and for no real reason supposedly (can't have them there gays on the t.v set .. oh no no.. i don't want no lesbos on my screeeen). Greys Anatomy is firing Brooke Smith (Erica Hahn) because of the lack of "chemistry" aparently.. between her and Callie .. Sigh.. with the L Word Ending there aren't any lesbian characters to relate with anymore...
