History made in 2008

We have just elected our first black president. This has been a truly amazing few days. There is truly hope that this country might take a step in the right direction.

But in the wake of this history, California bounded backwards. This summer, same-sex couples were granted the right to marry in California. But recently, Proposition 8 was created to re-define marriage as between one man and one woman. On November 4th, Proposition 8 was passed. That means that all the gay couples who legally wed earlier in the year, have had their matrimony taken away. Whether or not you believe in gay marriage or not, you don't give someone a right, and then take it away.
