The struggle is taking longer than it should but it's still going on and there are a whole lot of people out there who are involved in making things ultimately turn out the way that they should on this issue.

Love, nor the work that goes into any healthy relationship, isn't anything to make light of. Even with the sadness and frustration of Prop 8 passing, for me the election of 2008 will always be remembered as a success. We did more than make history by electing Obama. We changed the way people -young and old- think about possibility. And we mobilized a new generation of voters and change-makers. Prop 8 passing is really really sad - and the struggle for equality continues. If this election taught us anything it should be that struggle should continue and will end at some point. The struggle for people of color has been long and trying... and the struggle for queer folks will be long and trying. But we will come out on top - it might just take more time than we'd like.
