I am so glad I wrote this blog in my journal at work today. A twelve hour work day does not bode well for writing at night. (This is also why I am writing this so late.)
When I was on my break, I got a text message from Kayla saying, "Prop 8 in California was just declared unconstitutional. Awesome. Yay equal rights." To which I squee'd and jumped up and down in the back room, nearly upsetting my dinner in the process.
(For those of you who have been living under a hole the past few years and don't know what Prop 8 was - it was a constitutional amendment created in California in 2008 that basically said that only heterosexuals could marry.)
Now, I may not be American or directly affected by Proposition 8, but I am an unprejudiced, compassionate human being. I am an activist, a very proud staffer of The Harry Potter Alliance. And I'm happy dancing tonight not just for the Californian's that this affects directly, but for humanity. For the giant step that we have taken towards equality today. Because surely, knocking down this proposition will lead to others as well.
So, this is me, using this blog as my medium to cheer on the ladies and gentlemen who decided that Proposition 8 was inhumane and wrong. For choosing human equality. BRAVO!
