My unbridled optimism from last night's stunning landslide breakthrough of one of the more vile aspects of this country and its history was quickly tempered by sadness this morning at the realization that we still have so much further to go.
Please go read Kate's post on this. She so accurately conveys exactly what I'm feeling that I don't believe I could say it any better.
To all those in California and elsewhere, whom this will unjustly discriminate against: My heart is heavy for you today. But do not lose hope - I haven't. Today was not the right day, but (as Portly personally conveys) we have come so far and will keep fighting until the right day comes.

EDIT: This is too true of a post to not include.

There is certainly still a long way to go here in America, but it's a good sign that Barak included "Straight and Gay" in his acceptance speech along with "Black, White". "Young, Old." and the rest.
We should start eating healthy and getting enough sleep now, so that when Barak is inaugurated in January, we're ready to roll up our sleves and get to work.
