But I very much want to thank you. Your heartfelt support -- and that of so many like you, and even unlike you -- has been so sustaining.<BR/><BR/>It feels like right now as if we're in a small room full of gasoline (we Black folk, queer and straight, and we queer folk, of all colors) and way, WAY too many people are pitching lit matches around. I'm just hating it. And the folks who filled the room with gas are chuckling. Worked like a charm.<BR/><BR/>And liz: sad to say, California has an atrocious, notorious reputation with (a) social issue propositions, and (b) the huge bloc of conservatives here, largely in the Central Valley and most of southern California. The Bay Area and north coastal counties, with the southern exception of Santa Barbara county, were exceptional on this vote. Which of course is why I live here.<BR/><BR/>But in past years my fellow Californians have passed propositions radically reducing the rights of immigrants (Prop 187), young people of color (21), and the entire social policy of Affirmative Action (209). Not to mention gay marriage in 2000, which the Supreme Court just impotently ruled unconstitiutional. <BR/><BR/>As a local, I'm heart-sick (disgusted, fed up, fatigued, etc.). But I'm not surprised.Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474604172886488234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14962422.post-39453842575436155962008-11-09T03:40:00.000-05:002008-11-09T03:40:00.000-05:00That is a beautiful post to the people of activism...That is a beautiful post to the people of activism; what work it is.Arwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08558928485894882320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14962422.post-79757428297679900652008-11-08T23:06:00.000-05:002008-11-08T23:06:00.000-05:00a local columnist summed it up for straight suburb...a local columnist summed it up for straight suburban parents: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/11/07/BAGD140G16.DTLkathy a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14479337952651746193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14962422.post-432111905663594282008-11-07T21:05:00.000-05:002008-11-07T21:05:00.000-05:00What a great post, Susan.What a great post, Susan.Tall Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479411015152122256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14962422.post-27376112904805566632008-11-07T14:55:00.000-05:002008-11-07T14:55:00.000-05:00Someday this will happen.
