Ashamed

I must say that I am ashamed to be a Texan right now. Proposition 2 passed with about 74% of the vote. I am ashamed that that many Texans are so wrapped up with themselves and their own religion and how gay marriage could possibly affect them and their God that they don't even care about their fellow human beings. Gay marriage was already outlawed, but no, that wasn't enough. We had to write discrimination and hatred into our constitution. I guess that's the Texas way, though.

I can't wait until 30 years from now. This will become a non-issue and we will look back on this much like we look back on the 60's. I have no doubt in my mind.

Note: At least Travis county voted against the amendment 60% to 40%.
