I will admit, I was stuck in traffic and pretty pissed off.

Knowing that it was for a Prop 8 protest, I'm happy to be mildly inconvenienced.

Keep fighting the good fight…

Seriously – I kinda can't believe that every state that had gay marriage on their ballots voted against it.  But I guess some people can only take 1 major social change at a time.  

Also, a friend told me that there is a theory that the reason that gay marriage took a beating was because so many people were voting for the first time because they wanted Obama to win – and those first time voters are mostly avid church-going folks who believe that homosexuality is a sin.  So, kind of a double-edged sword I suppose.
