I find myself conflicted this morning … There I was last night, rejoicing in the fact that America elected the first African American president in our history. How wonderful for all the people who thought that would never happen. I’m ecstatic that the children of our country (my daughter included) now know that ANYTHING truly is possible.

How can I hold on to the notion that we as a nation are leaving discrimination behind us when Obama is elected president and a proposition like 8 is passed on the same night? Why can’t we just wash our hands of discrimination and move forward. We always have to do it in small chunks. Okay, we’ll let an African American man be president but gays still need to put in their time of suffering. It disgusts me.
