Decisions like this have a much bigger impact than some of you realize (fiscal, etc). And don't we have bigger issues to deal with in California than changing the constitution to ban people like me from pursuing happiness and love?

awwww, i'm so sorry babe, truly. i don't have any words that can comfort you except that i love you and you and your gf know what's real in your hearts. as progressive as this country is trying to be on certain issues ie: energy, environment etc. most are still stuck in 1950 when it comes to the picture of marriage. i am absolutely shocked that in Cal. of all places, no on 8 did not win. hang in there sweetie, this fight ain't over by a longshot.
