So i'm happy about Obama's victory, but to be honest, i'm still a little stunned. It's not that it came as a surprise, it seemed most likely that he would win from a while now. But the fact that it's over, and he's no longer just a candidate...he's actually the president-elect... It's pretty overwhelming.

But despite all that fun stuff, this morning was quite a disappointment. It turns out prop 8 has most likely passed, which is some straight up bullshit. I understand that some people want to protect their view of marriage, but the "traditional" definition of marriage is a religious one, and the government has no place enforcing any religious view. If a church chooses to shun gay marriages and claim they're two men or two women can never married in the eyes of their version of God, whatev, but the government's role is to protect us, not to establish and enforce our sense of morality. As far as state and federal governments are concerned, marriage should be nothing more than a legal contract, and to revoke the rights of citizens to enter into that contract based on religious scruples is, well....some straight up bullshit.

So yeah, it's a bittersweet morning, so for now, I'm gonna try and focus on the positive, at least untill i know what i can do to help get the new amendment repealed. Overall it's a good morning. At least prop 4 didn't pass, and Barack Obama is president elect of the United States of America.
