Great news nationally, disappointment close to home

I am still grinning when I think of our president-elect and the change that is to come. Our country is in dire straits, and our civil rights are challenged at every turn.

Unfortunately, the state I live in, California, has embraced a constitutional amendment promoting discrimination and hate: proposition 8 passed (just barely). Gay rights have plummeted in our supposedly liberal state. I feel so worried for the families who are affected by this...are their marriages going to be annulled? It is going to court, so we'll see where this goes.
