Not a good day to be gay, though.

So, it looks as if all the propositions in all three states banning gay marriage will go through, including prop 8 in California. In California, apparently, you're a lot more likely to get the popular vote if you're a farm animal, than if you're a ghey. And there was me thinking that America was really heading towards being a place where people really don't care or judge who other people choose to love or fuck or spend their lives with. Them's the breaks.
I am hoping that what all of this actually is, is more a question of semantics surrounding the word "marriage" rather than bigotry, could someone help me out on that one? Because surely it's not down to a majority of people being of the opinion that two people who love each other shouldn't be allowed to make an official commitment saying as much? Anyway, I am not going to let it dampen my spirits, this fight will continue to be fought and will most certainly be won, if not today, then next time or the time after that. You guys just elected a black president, dudes. I'm so proud of you, it's been ten hours and I'm still tearing up every time I watch the coverage. Tolerance and love and equality will win out in the end. And farm animals can turn around now! Who would have thought we'd ever see that day come to pass, eh? Patience.
Yeah, I'm doing really well on this whole flocking business.
