On the other hand, FOUR STATES passed aggressively anti-gay legislation. And one of those states was CALIFORNIA. Also Nebraska celebrated our election of a black president by ending affirmative action.
Still, on most issues it was a good night. California, Colorado, and South Dakota rejected shitty anti-choice legislation, and Michigan voted in favor of medical marijuana and stem cell research. I've got my victorious playlist going and I'm wearing all blue.
As a side note, I had this weird moment of cynical paranoia a few minutes ago where I thought that maybe they (I mean They) just let us win this one because being hopeful makes us easier to control. But then that's (probably) crazy.
