This night has been a night filled with tears of joy. My dear Americans, you have showed yourself better than the stereotypes, and the world will certainly look to you with hope and high expectations.
But in California of all places, it seems the bigots scored a big one. Yes on Proposition 8.

Two months ago I had the honor of taking part in my sister-in-laws wedding to her longtime partner. To have their union belittled like this is a shame I yet have to figure out how to face.
In my excitement over the idea of an Obama presidency I forgot the issue that concerns some of my nearest and dearest.

With a quarter of the votes counted, it seems California has denied equality for all.

Shame on all of us who let this happen.
