I was saddened to see the results of Proposition 8 in California. Social change like this, when it comes to accepting the "other", takes so damn long. I am impatient. I don't want to wait for any couple in a committed relationship to be protected by the legal rights and protections of marriage.

I read this in an AP article by Jerry Schwartz today:
At this astonishing moment, let us pause to reflect. Just 40 years ago, the kind of marriage that brought Barack Obama into the world - one between a black man and a white woman - was illegal in 16 states.

Sigh. I don't want to wait 40 years, and I honestly don't think we'll have to. But we're going to have to keep fighting and advocating for change, no matter how long it takes. It will happen, though. Marriage will be an option for any couple.

I just hope it's sooner rather than later.
