yo california, what the hell dude?

even though i was unable to vote this year (looooooooong story) i'm pretty jazzed about how things turned out. i was definitely pulling for Obama...what a history making election this has turned out to be!


BUT
(this might make me sound like way too much of a liberal and if it does i don't give a crap) there is something that really bothers me about how prop 8 turned out.
all i have to say is:


California wants to claim "progressive" status at every turn so they helped elect a black man into the office of president, but gays can't get married?


seriously, if we're going to break down barriers let's go big or go home.
what is so wrong with people who love each other getting married? if i get to do it, why can't my mom and her girlfriend do it? why can't my gay friends do it? it just makes me so sad because i know alot of people were counting on having the opportunity to marry their partners finally.
i thought everyone was supposed to be equal in this country, but apparently that excludes homosexuals.


SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT HERE!!!
what the fuck California?
i'm not sure if i miss you so much now.
