ok so i havent updated my journal in like forever, but now i have something worth while to talk about.

yesterday our country chose its next leader, barack obama. whether or not you support the outcome, you must admit we have come a long way as a country. we have elected our first black president, when just a few decades ago blacks were discouraged from voting in the first place.

we have come so far, but we have such a long way to go. there wer a number of ballot initiatives in multiple states to determine things like gay marriage laws. in almost every one of the gay rights related referendums, gays lost marriage and adoption rights. as i write this, prop 8 in california, a referendum to decide whether homosexuals can marry or not and what happens to existing unions between same sex couples, is still too close to call.


hopefully i will live to see a day where all americans, black, white, gay, straight, male, female, will all have the same exact rights and oppourtunities that every other american has.
