I do take heart that it passed by an incredibly narrow margin, thanks to people like you. :)
Still, I think what is truly disgusting is that California was voting to take the right away. To me, nothing is more unAmerican than revoking someone's right. I think Rachel Maddow summed it up best, "People have been living in California with gay marraiges for months and the sky hasn't fallen yet, what makes them think it's going to start?" (Or something along that line.) Other states simply banned it outright, but California had to the choice to take it away.
I think that the slim margin speaks volumes that attitudes are continuing to change. So, thank you. People like you give me hope and let me know that I'm not a jabbering lunatic.
