Yes we did! But then some didn't

Nothing can wipe the smile off my face knowing that America stepped up, did the right thing, and made Barack Obama the President of the United States of America. I have never felt so proud of our country, so invigorated and hopeful.

But, why oh why did Prop 8 pass in California? Why? I don't get it. I am trying not to let it get me down. I guess change can't happen all at once.
