Great Day for America, bad day for Gay Rights

[zaichikarky]

This was a really amazing victory! Is this one of the biggest landslides in history or what?

However, bans on gay marriage have passed in several states including California, Florida, and Arkansas. I'm pretty shocked about California. I didn't think it would pass. At least the anti-abortion legislation didn't pass in most states. I can't believe Colorado had a proposition about illegalizing abortion from the moment of conception.

I wish I had more time to write, but most days all I do is work and study : (. I'm considering staying in Japan for longer... again.

I'm so excited about Obama, and so upset about Prop. 8 in California. I didn't expect the Florida and Arkansas bans to be voted down, but I really thought California could pull through. :/

I was unbelievably surprised at the number of ban on gay rights in several states. Its just...so disheartening to see that even with finally a sign for change, people are still for discrimination to others.
