fingertroubleI posted this early this morning but like the result it was a complete FAIL.
Basically the jubilation about Obama faded within an hour, because of Proposition 8 in CA and Prop 2 in Florida being passed. President Obama is against the proposition but wimps out in the usual 'civil union' like we have here. Better than being against I suppose . Sigh.
So call me the party pooper but it's obvious there is a long way to go before my friends in US get the same rights we have here, and become equal rathere than second class citizens because of who they love.
And the scary thing? Some of those who voted Yes must've also voted from Obama.
So as I said elsewhere, great step but when are you going to get an atheist president? True seperation of church and state would be a good start...rather than it being a campaigning platform. Then maybe we could all get past the mumbo jumbo and be truly free at last.
