The passage of Prop 8 was a poignant counterpoint to the success of Barack Obama. I know this has been touched on before so I'll let you conjure up your own platitudes as to how on the same night California revoked marriage equality the United States elected its first African-American president. I, on the other hand, am moving on. Because that's what we have got to do. Prop 8 passed and Obama's now President-elect. While these two events have oft been used in a "two steps forward, one step back" kind of way, really it just goes to show that there's always something more to fight for. Also the fact that Obama won but the marriage equity cause lost this round should prompt us to ask how we can use the lessons of Obama's candidacy and apply them to our own electoral fight. http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/post/serenelyinsane/CLHl http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/post/serenelyinsane/CLHl/commentary#comments Tue, 18 Nov 2008 20:49:56 PST http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/post/serenelyinsane/CLHl Unknown user Unknown user 0 http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/comment_rss/CLHl/
