Yay, Prop 201 passed & the definition of Marriage will remain as being between one man & one woman. I am so grateful to all of those who worked so hard for it to pass. The issue wasn't as heated here in AZ as it was in CA so I just want to say that I am so proud of all my family members & friends who were strong enough & courageous enough to endure the hate & criticism that came with standing up for what is right. I am proud of you and I admire you even more.
I do have to say though, as I was watching the election results come in my stomach was in knots & when it became clear that Obama was going to take it, my heart sank & I thought I might vomit. But as the night went on and I listened to the speeches, (especially John McCain's) and other news reports, I decided I would allow myself to be bummed for that night, then it would be back to business as usual.
I am proud to be an American. I am proud that I was able to witness the first African American president be elected, even if I don't share the same political views as he does, what a great piece of history to be able to take part in. I hope every one else has been able to find peace with our country's current situation too.

I too am glad that it passed but I believe that our fight is not yet over. We have protesters at the capital and people have been outside the LA temple fighting it. Hopefully the heat will die down soon.

It is grand to be a part of history but what will be greater is what Obama does with his four years. He is smart enough to surround himself with smart people let's just hope he listens to them too. May he be teachable and guided by what's good for the people.
