Nov. 5th, 2008 08:05 amWell, yay. I am relieved and pleased and hopeful. Texas went for McCain, of course, but good old Travis County (the people's republic of) went for Obama (for what that's worth). It's pretty awesome to have a president-elect whose speeches are inspiring, intelligent, and compassionate, rather than wincingly embarrassing and enraging.
At this moment, returns are not all in for Prop 8 in California, and the LA Times says it's too close to call, but it's looking worrisome. But you know what? Even if it does pass, it's only a matter of time. The people who voted for Prop 8 are largely older people, swayed by fear and the lies propagated by out of state Mormons (of all things)...change is inevitable, in the long run.
And no proposition or law can actually invalidate love or committment.
Still. Work to do.
I think McCain may have been very very relieved, honestly. What's ahead is not for the faint of heart or infirm of mind or body.
