Damn

Prop 8 passes. Florida bans damn near anything but man/woman marriage., Ark. bans adoptions by gay folks, etc., etc., etc.

Obama wins, it's a "new day" in America --- and, for the first time, an existing right has been taken away from an entire group of supposed "Citizens". LGBT folks in Ca. can no longer marry.

Nov. 3rd they were equal to other Citizens --- today they are not.

Isn't that just peachy?

I'm so damn angry I can hardly type.

Nothing else to say right now. No "buck up", or "keep on fighting". No we must "engage" the Evangelical/African-American/Mormon/Roman Catholic/Latino/blah, blah, blah, blah, groups.

If you do not understand that denying fellow CITIZENS of rights EQUAL to yours is wrong, is immoral, is mean-spirited, there is little hope for you.

As "just another old woman", I do not expect to live long enough to see true equality for LGBT folks.

I just hope the bigots don't deny their children who might happen to be gay -- that's something they might well carry to their grave. Denying fellow Americans appears to be just a minor detail to them. Just a passing event.
