I have been deeply saddened by the outcome of Proposition 8. I have watched as my friends and loved ones have had their rights stripped from them. I have read their words of anguish. I have heard the pain in their voices. As grand and as big as the hope and the joy for the future as the nation elected Obama to office, the deliberate denial of an entire sector of our population is as grand and as big in the opposite direction. How, as a nation, can we be unified under a young man who has hope in his eyes, who is to be the leader for change, when we are cutting off a vast group of our people? How can that possibly work?
The video below is so beautifully presented. It’s about six minutes along. I recommend creating the time to watch it.

I have asked many of those same questions many times. I would love if someone – anyone – could come up with some viable, believable answers already!
