bittersweet

so along with the new president, which is wonderful and great and all the things it should be so far - several states, including my own, CA voted to support a BAN on gay marriage. sad and horrifying, that we can say we have grown so much as a society to elect a black president, yet still deny the most basic, non-offensive, non-invasive right of marriage to our neighbor. there are several suits up contesting the legality of the amendment and the state supreme court is likely to overturn is as unconstitutional - furthermore - the verbiage on the ballot was easily misunderstood. the religious right, as usual - always WRONG - poisoned the minds of many with millions of dollars to ensure that this amendment was passed. i, along with many others, am dissapointed at the lack of effort on the part of the rich fuckers in hollywood who did very little to support the defeat of prop 8. good for stephen spielberg and brad pitt for donating $1m or more to defeat it - many more of hollywood's elete should have forked over some cash - since the gays run rampant throughout the entertainment biz - some out, most closeted.
