Drained and bloody
It was a good day Tuesday for the gay community, despite some losses.
In my state of South Carolina, we lost the amendment vote by a margin of 78 percent but I am not upset. A little spiritually drained, but not upset. It was probably the first time that gays in this state actually organized ourselves on a political basis. And 200,000 votes isn't bad.
So what happens next?
We continue to do what we need to do. Progress is always slow so patience an extreme virtue for people trying to change the world for the better.
Or in the words of Lucy Liu: "you really didn't think it would be that easy, did you?"
As for me, it will be business as usual and I continue to post on this blog and work on getting my book completed.
I appreciate everyone who have supported me this far and I will continue to work to expose the lies of the anti-gay industry.

Don't let it get you down at all. California's chances of getting gay marriage dropped to almost nothing when Schwarzenegger was re-elected. Last year our legislature passed a gay marriage proposal, but he vetoed it. I imagine the same thing will happen again. The good thing is that Arnold is not your horrible republican. As of next year my partner and I can file joint state taxes!
Things are slowly changing in this country and despite losing the gay marriage front, we are (I believe) winning the war. 247Gay.com is reporting on the record number of gays and lesbians who have been elected to office (and notice how many come from the southern states!).
