The world sat up. and all listened. for the sound was righteous. and the moment correct.

Today is a day of celebration and rejoicing. However I can't help but feel that, while we learned that being African American no longer defines the limits of your potential, being gay still does. In California, proposition 8 passed making gay marriage specifically illegal. Similar ballot measures passed in florida and arizona... and in arkansas gay people were specifically banned from adopting children. Regardless of your opinion of homosexuality, why should it be legal to legislate who can marry whom? It just doesn't seem right or fair, and it certainly shows a blatant mixing of church and state. Hopefully it will be appealed up to the 9th circuit court and no further... because if the current supreme court takes it there is no telling what precedent they will set.
