Discontented

Today has been bittersweet.

I celebrated the victory of President-elect Barack Obama last night. I remained cautiously aware of how close the Prop 8 battle was. Today I am stunned over the final outcome. Throughout the day I have been checking, hoping for a different outcome to prevail, but I did not find it.

I know that we will continue to fight, and hope, and protest. There are more of us than ever before, and the difference between us and them is so close now that we’re nearly tied. As we continue to educate our family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and everyone else, we will continue to gain understanding, acceptance, and equality.

Change is slow sometimes, but it IS inevitable. We must endure, we must press forward, and we will eventually overcome.

Peace + Love,
Terry
