WTF?

When i woke up this morning, i raced to my computer to make sure it was all still true. the two previous elections made me something of a cynic. i expected to hear the sound of the other shoe dropping. and i did. it's just that it wasn't the shoe i expected and it was all the way in california.

people. are you kidding me? while the nation celebrates progress and diversity, California sucked it big time and passed prop 8, a ban on gay marriage. if i was a person with normal blood pressure, i would say that i am disappointed. but i am not so i will say that i am fucking outraged.

did you hear the boos during mccain's concession speech last night? his supporters booed every time obama's name was mentioned. when you run a campaign based on divisiveness and hate, people get confused when you support the "terrorist" as your president. nice speech, mccain. maybe if you took the high road during your campaign instead of after, you'd be president elect right now.

and while i am at it, since i am sitting here fuming already, a large portion of mccain's speech seemed to imply that obama won because he is black. that is the same backwards logic that got him to invite the lovely ovary-having palin onto his ticket(she got a few boos herself last night). i would like to announce to mccain that there are other body parts besides skin and reproductive organs. i have a heart and i have a brain. so does the rest of the country. we've all got the same guts. and THAT is why you are not our president elect.

so equality and progress for everyone in America, unless you are gay. just when i, we, thought bigotry was getting the finger, it rears its ugly head in my home state. hate and fear....hate and fear. shame on you, 52% of California voters. shame on you.

i cried tears of joy last night. this morning, neil and i talked about how our kids will never know that they can't run for president....well, unless they are gay. screw you, 52% of california voters. you are totally killing my buzz.

peace out.
