I love what Ellen had to say about the passing of prop 8 in California. She hit the nail on the head. It is a sad day for me, a strait American, that prop 8 was passed. I can't believe that more people believe in hate than unity and acceptance.
"Watching the returns on election night was an amazing experience. Barack Obama is our new president. Change is here. I, like millions of Americans, felt like we had taken a giant step towards equality. We were watching history. This morning, when it was clear that Proposition 8 had passed in California, I can’t explain the feeling I had. I was saddened beyond belief. Here we just had a giant step towards equality and then on the very next day, we took a giant step away. I believe one day a 'ban on gay marriage' will sound totally ridiculous. In the meantime, I will continue to speak out for equality for all of us."
UPDATE: On Nobvember 20, 2008 The Supreme Court of California has agreed to hear the case.
