I'm sorry my friends.
I'm sorry the marriage amendment passed here. I tried. I really, sincerely tried. I made calls, canvassed.

It wasn't enough and I'm sorry. I can't imagine how you must feel, but there are a lot of people like me who are angry about this.

Next time. Please God.

3. I know I can't fully understand what most of you are going through
but I am very upset about the votes. I will continue to do all I can to help. I am sorry that some of our fellow "liberals" are so quick to throw the GLBT community under the bus. Equality is not a negotiable issue.

4. Midlo, you don't have to apologize for anything.
You tried and it's not your fault you live in a state with an overpopulation of bigoted idiots.

5. We all tried, and we'll keep trying.
You are a light in a dark county and I treasure you. That issue robbed me of what would have been unalloyed joy. And it means we have to put up with Victoria Fucking Cobb for the near future. But she and her ilk are losing ground all the time and THEY KNOW IT and it FRIGHTENS them. So if we have the power to frighten them, we have the power to win.

7. Thanks for all your efforts!
This year it was you. Next year it will be you and two or more of your friends. The year after that, it will be you, your friends and their friends.

A sincere thank-you for all you do. :thumbsup:

14. Sadly it passed in Wisconsin as well
my son (17) said it will be up to his generation to repeal it and my 13 year old son agreed. I hope it will be sooner, it's a damn shame.
Only a disgusting, hateful pig would vote for crap like that and sadly Wisconsin has plenty of them - Voted for the return of the death penalty too.
When I told some of them how expensive it would be, that's the only way to reach some of these cretins, they said they shouldn't be allowed so many appeals. I guess it comes down to kill 'em all and let god sort them out mentality.
