Dissapointed and Confused

I no longer live in CA and honestly, today I am kinda glad.

I don't understand how 6.1 million people say they are voting for change and hope by voting for Barack Obama but only 4.7 million actually do by voting against Proposition 8. Leaving them defeated by the 5.1 million people who voted for Proposition 8 allowing it to pass and amending the California Constitution to ban gay marriage.

I just don't understand.

I don't either. It is very sad. I think it must be a generational thing.

I personally appreciate the sentiment, but realize that the state you live in also bans same-sex marriage.

Good point. I didn't realized that the VA constitution was ammended in November of 2006. I guess I just don't understand allowing it and then taking it away.
