I feel a deep sense of confidence and satisfaction, that my premonition when everyone was grieving over Prop 8 is holding true. I know setbacks suck, and they're tangibly affecting real people right now, but...

More hope for the world, and perhaps eventually for a discussion that is a bit less about assimilation and a lot more about respect, acceptance and true openness of mind and frame.
I was so despondent after the whole Prop 8 debacle, I begged Sandy to stop asking me (to marry her, that is) because I was certain that it would never ever happen. But Iowa! In the buckle of the Bible Belt! It's almost too much for my little heart to take.
I can only hope that as we slowly break down the walls that cage us in, we don't get hurt in the fallout. While that sounds fatalistic, I have had my dreams of getting married dashed more than once and I don't know that I could last as long as Del and Phyllis did without going postal or the like.
Thank you so very much for conveying such wonderful, hopeful news!
Just finished reading the actual ruling. I appreciate it and want to throw it in the faces of people who were crying in sadness, force them to face their bigotry.
