Well, you may already know that I live in Texas and since you've been a Friend of my journal for quite some time, you'll know just how unimpressed I am with our political system.

The results of this vote don't surprise me in the least. I could have told you this outcome weeks ago. Just like Iraq as a society isn't ready for Democracy, a majority element in society isn't ready to actually embrace equality or a level playing field for all.

Frankly, like any major social change -- these people campaigning for gay rights (not just with this vote here but in general) are pioneers. I believe that one day these people will be the majority. Their time will come. But change isn't quick or easy. These are the growing pains.

It's cold comfort but life is a shit storm and it rains on everyone. But without this foundation, it would never happen at all.
