For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country.

Addendum: But I am not proud of my state, at least not tonight. Fuck you, Proposition 8, for tainting a celebration of the best this country has to offer with a triumph of the worst that we are still capable of.

But also, I suppose, thank you, for reminding us that no matter how far we think we have come, there is always so much further to go. You may have won today, but your end will come, as it should.
