I don't either. Truly don't. It was a bittersweet election.

Because Yes on 8 reframed the entire debate and made it about fear. They took a marriage issue and made it into a "scary gays invade schools" psychodrama. They also had very organized help from the Mormons, who raised over $20 million, and other Conservative religious groups preaching about politics every Sunday.

The No on 8 group was disorganized and complacent. They sent volunteers to canvas gay enclaves instead of reaching out to other communities. The people that would be affected by the proposition were missing from the ads, they only showed parents or other proxies.

I know I thought it would be voted down simply from the fact that over 16,000 couples, like Dave and I, got married and they must have friends and relatives that want to support them. I underestimated the overwhelming power of "think of the children!!!!!" that Yes on 8 was running on.

But hey at least chickens can stand up in their cages now.

Sorry about being longwinded and bitter.

I must be backwards then, I voted for McCain, and No on 8. Leave it for me to rebel against California!

That was me
