dear california,

i am deeply saddened today. the fact that prop 8 was ever on a ballot, in CALIFORNIA, was disappointing. the fact that a majority vote passed prop 8 was disappointing, especially on such a culturally monumental day, when we elected barack obama to be our 44th president. seeing today, after months of california supreme court hearings, that prop 8 will be upheld is pretty appalling. when will you learn?

so once again, the never-ending fight for equality and civil rights is tarnished. on the same day that barack obama elected sonia sotomayor as the first hispanic supreme court justice, california sends us another step back. thanks for that.

"separate but equal" just isn't going to fly.

no love,
nicolette
