it was a great morning to wake up to knowing that our new President would be a precedent for change. but at the same time there was a gloom to the silver lining because Prop 8 had passed. i couldn't grasp how people could agree to the passing of something like it. what happened to the people who moved the world fighting for the rights of women, of african-americans, of the underserved and the underprivileged? it seemed that they themselves had joined the witch hunt to put someone under their feet, how ironic and infinitely saddening.
