Bittersweet Home California

California voters helped elect Barack Obama, but dampened the celebration by passing Proposition 8, a state constitutional amendment that blatantly discriminates against gay Americans. Amazingly, Californians overwhelmingly passed Proposition 2, which grants humane housing rights to farm animals! Some people are apparently more afraid of homosexuals than the prospect of more expensive, and potentially unsafe food. One step forward, two steps back. The mind boggles.
