I’m so damn disappointed in the voters of this state. It looks like Prop 8 has passed. We voted to put discrimination right into the state constitution. It really puts a damper on the Obama win and the rest of it for me. I’m just hoping that, as the mailed in ballots and provisional ballots get counted, Prop 8 ends up with less than 51% of the vote. If that’s the case then we can take a shot at repealing it in near future.

The more I’ve thought about it over the last few days, the more I feel like Gavin Newsom deserves a big kick to the nuts for that “whether you like it or not” quote that the Prop 8 folks ran in most of their ads. You just don’t gloat like that on any issue where a simple majority can tell you you’re wrong.
