I don't think we'll ever see every state legalizing same sex marriage because states like Utah and Georgia don't want it to be legal. In 2010 it's likely that Oregon will legalize it and California will pass another proposition resembling prop 8 after this one is knocked down in court.

The fact that interracial marriage was illegal only 40 years ago, and that it is legal now, gives me hope that same sex marriage will be legalized in every state during my lifetime. And then there will be no need for the term "same sex marriage". I can't wait to see that day. I still have hope.

I know among my "progressive" friends, we didn't think or talk much about Prop 8 because we thought it was a slam dunk. Of course California wasn't going to strip away same-sex marriage rights. Double dumbass on us, I guess. I gave a little to the No campaign, particularly after Pam pointed out all the money going to the Yes side, but most of my mental, social and financial energy went to the Obama campaign. In retrospect, I wish my husband and I had ordered our priorities a little differently. Time machine anyone? “I only wished he’d said something like this before the election.”
