today d, k and i (e was off with a friend) marched with our friends and neighbors in opposition to the passing of proposition 8. we wore signs. held hands. and chanted for equal rights for all. we are blessed to live in a diverse neighborhood, where the word family is defined in many different ways. though ultimately the same: to have people who love you.
prop 8 passed by only 495,857 votes (52%) - with 10,842,073 Californians voting.
in 2000, a similar ballot initiative, proposition 22 passed with 61% of Californians in favor. it was overturned.
we have hope that this unfair action too, will soon be overturned.
equality marches continue throughout California.
