I really don't understand.

Today is a great day in the United States. As President Elect Barack Obama made his victory speech last night I listened to his words, while the camera swept the crowd of thousands and thousands standing out in the cold to hear him speak. I was in awe, and I was far more emotional than I expected to me. I've talked to people about this and they say Obama's win gives them hope. It gives me hope too. This was the most important election of my lifetime and look what happened.

We have our first black president and he is going to change the world, I hope.

Unfortunately the good news ends there. In something I never expected to happen, it looks like Proposition 8 will pass and we are banning gay marriage...Even though we've already legalized it. I am disgusted by this. I'm also quite ashamed of my home state. And 50 years from now everyone will be ashamed of how this happened. It's discrimination and it's hate. And while today is a great day for the United States of America...It's a horribly dark day for the Sunshine State.
