Change has Come… or has it?
I will not be the first person, or that last person, to blog about the events of yesterday, but here goes anyway. The Republican party has dominated the political and cultural landscape of America for far too long. Its brand of righteous “family values”, hiding a love of big business and religious discrimination, is finally over. Not only did we resoundingly kick them out of the oval office, we have cemented a firm majority in the United States Senate. I could not be happier.
Oh wait, Prop 8 is passing in California…. CALI-FUCKING-FORNIA! In one election the American people have finally moved passed race as a deciding factor and have voted on the merits of the individual, and yet we still hate gay people. All four candidates, even our new president elect Obama, have stated that they do not believe in gay marriage. The only difference between the Republicans and the Democrats here is that the Democrats don’t want to legislate their beliefs. If we can look beyond race we can look beyond sexual orientation, otherwise we still have a long way to go. Where is our homosexual Martin Luther King?
All in all, though, I could not be happier. The cherry on the cake would be if President Barack Obama (man that feels good to write) were to prosecute George W. Bush for all his crimes, and man have there been a lot. But, I guess I will just have to keep hope alive.
P.S. Its been a long time coming, but I have finally put up a gallery of my engagement, bachelor/bachelorette party, and Honeymoon. Wedding pics should be up soon.
