I swear, bookblogging to come after this.

I'm still cautiously happy about the election results (Secret Service, please be awesome), but goddamn, I am so disappointed about Prop 8. Again, I don't think marriage should be the be-all-end-all of GLBT activism, but just... argh! Constitution change! Legal precedents! Taking away rights in the state constitution!

On a side note, if you're going to talk about API campaigners for Prop 8, please also take note of all the API groups that stood up against it as well.

I've been rather unhappy about this one. I think there are some major problems that caused what happened this week but the key is to just continue the fight in other ways.

I think this represents how, while the GLBT community has moral standing, that in itself does not equality make. In a country where there is majority rule, you can't just follow your moral compass.

The civil war is what freed the slaves, rather than the other way around.
