I am rejoicing today. A mandate for change has come to the United States of America. But at my core I am sorrowful for the hate and prejudice shown across America when we institutionalized discrimination against many of my brothers and sisters. Prop 8 in California and Amendment 2 in Florida show how far we still have to go.
I think we have 6 years to come up with a good argument to convince those who voted for Prop 8 (CA) and 2 (FL) we are all equal. But the work on a new constitutional amendment to prove it once and for all begins today. So let's mobilize the netroots that have been so successful and take the reins of this opportunity to right that wrong.
